Anyone have a good used torque tube clamp for the rear transmission side? I think mine is stripped out and will not tightin.

Thanks

Try a longer bolt with a nut at the end. Use a grade 8 or higher.

THanks for the idea. I'm actually in the middle of a torque tube drive and was just putting in the transmission but the clamp wouldn't tighten. Mise well do it right with the original parts since I got everything out. I'm afraid the bolt on the end might throw the balance off.

All I need is the rear square clamping unit with bolt. Anyone got one? Thanks!

I'm trying to remmeber but isn't this clamp spot welded to the tube?

Dan87951

Mine wasn't it slides right off. Its the square looking clamp that has a bolt taht goes threw it.

Imo000

yup, I ws talking about the same one. On the front, by the flex plate it's spot welded on but I couldn't remember is it was on the back. Contact Giovani he's parting out an S4 and he might have this.

Dan probably doesnt need a clamp from his other post the drive shaft has been pushed forward in the TT and the bolt cutout isnt lining up at the trans input shaft.
Note the clamping collar is spot welded to the front flex plate.
It floats on the trans input shaft ,as that is part of the drive line has to slide through a bearing and seal so the clamp has to be made to be removed
