Default Torque tube
I started to have a vibration/grinding sound on the car. Sounds like the couplers went bad. Are there any replacement couplers for the C7? I searched online but can’t find any.

The torque tube comes as an assembly.

Default C7 sowing machine noise
Help!!! Being told it’s broken torque converter flex plate, does that mean torque tube too? What’s the most efficient way to fix this problem? Is that what it is in your opinion?



thanks


Ed

A flex plate issue doesn't mean there's a torque tube issue too. The flex plate attaches to the crank shaft on one side and torque tube the other.

I just replaced my torque tube and the flex plate was fine.
