Default Will 2001 Z06 Torque Tube fit a 2000

Well my torque tube is shot and I need a new one. Will a torque tube off of a 2001 Z06 fit my 2000 manual transmission vette?

Yes the only different between them are the bolts that hold the spindle on. 97-04-ls1 have 10mm and Zo6 have beefer bolts 12mm so if you could get your hands on a z06 tube go for it. And 12mm couplers.

I may be mistaken but I thought all, at least manual trans C5's, had the 12mm bolts/63mm drive shaft, Torque Tube from 2001-2004, Z06 or not. Anyone know for sure?

The link I left in the earlier post list all the different shafts from 1997 to 2004. In the manual trans cars from 1997 to 2004 there were three different shafts used.
