torque tube couplers
Hi everyone, this is my first post.
i'm planning on rebuilding my torque tube when i change my clutch, my question is this, are the couplers from corvette central the ones made in germany or are they made in china???
Also, should i change the flywheel and pressure plate bolts or can you reuse the old ones?
Thanks in advance.

I'd recommend getting new bolts. I used ARP bolts when I replaced mine...

The fw bolts are torque to yeild. you could probably re-use the pp bolts, but it is not recommended. also replace all the coupler bolts with new ones.I would only buy the couplers from someone who advertised them as the german ones. there is another option from RPM transmissions that is better than the german ones, but more expensive.

I ended up buying GM. I made a purchase from another supporting vendor here for "German made" couplers and they fell apart within 1 year causing nasty driveline vibration.

couplers from RPM as well. Price $375 but worth it on big
power.
