A lift helps a lot.

If you don't want to knock out and reinstall the bearings yourself, you can pull the tube and ship it to Constantine for a rebuild.
Looks as though I'll need to get a price list and possible sevice costs..does Constantne have a website?

Thx

Constantine,
How about a package price for the lower 48?
Clamp + Super Bearings + Shipping = ?

Package price for a V2 928 Super Clamp and three (3) 928 Super Bearings with S&H to the lower 48 states is $900.00 USD.

This will only be for a limited time.

Hope this helps and thank you for your interest!

And, once again, I'll vouch for the super bearing and super clamp set-up.
I've got the V1 and Bearings in mine and I'm totally impressed.
Lots of history and threads here too for the "new" folks on how sturdy this set-up is.

So the the torque tube requires 3 bearings?

May I ask other then then the added security of the tube not failing, (which is great) are there any other benefits of the Super bearings, such as performance wise?

I installed an early Constantine (Black Sea) Clamp on my daughter's 84 USA car.

Its a very strong-running mid year car, the former "Stan Shaw red '84".

The clamp is an exceptional piece. Wish I had more pictures of it.

Emailing this thread to my neighbor, running an '87 S4, who might also benefit.


Really want the bearings, too.

Curious if the 944 / 951 bearings are taking-off, as they should.

What a major engineering upgrade to critical pieces, both sets of cars.

Not really "performance" wise as in going faster, increasing HP/TQ or hugging the track better.

The Super Bearings are just overbuilt for their assigned task with a larger outer housing, 2 sizes larger top tier bearing and a larger bearing insert which grabs and cushions the drive shaft.

The Super Bearings were also designed so that using three eliminates the need to re-use the OE vibration dampeners which are prone to fail and cause problems with the torque tube after a rebuild doing it the old fashioned way.

All these Super Bearing attributes help make a TT rebuilt with them last and after you've done a TT R&R, especially on a 928 automatic, its a job you don't want to do again for awhile.

Hope that helped to answer your question!

Yes our 944 Super Bearing line has been doing very well and some months eclipses our 928 Super Bearing sales.

Coming up is our 964 and 993 Super Bearing lines, especially when we stand up our fix for the 993 C4 and 993 TT broken drive shafts that plague them.

And thank you for the kind words on our products!

Performance gain is that when you punch it,...you're not waiting for 20 year old bearings to screw up.....

Seriously.....
Do it once, and do it right.....
(there are pics around here that show (Graphically) what it takes sometimes to get the old bearings out of the tube....I had lots of fun, but not as much as others did....
(Greg, RIP, showed using a dually pick-up on the hoist as leverage for a press to get one set out.....).
Drop it, strip it, clean it, and install the Black Sea solution and move on with your life.
Just sayin'

Add one more to the " The Porken clam that let the shaft move" list. We just saw one that was installed 2 years ago. Got pictures to prove it.
