Vendalla's torque tube rebuild using super bearings!
Vedallas torque tube is rebuilt with super bearings! When only the best will do! I used the old transmission flex plate assembly to perfectly aline shaft. The directions provided made this rebuild a breeze! Now on to the transmission cooler ,radiator and line flush. Awaiting the transmission from precision motorwerks to arrive. Very excited! May have her up and running by June.

nice job.
in your last picture did you also install the pinch clamp after you took the picture?

Looks awesome. I just installed a rebuilt TT from Constantine with super bearing and a used 5 spd trans from an 85. I also replaced all the shift linkers and bushings from Roger. Put it back last night. Took it for a test drive this morning! It drove amazingly well. The gears click into position like new! Such joy!

if what you wrote is true that you did not install the rear clamp on the drive line
.
Warning.
don’t drive the car or let any power be sent to the transmission with the rear clamp on the input shaft not installed,
what will happen is one of the 3 fingers of that input shaft will snap off and that will ruin the input shaft and require rebuilding this assembly a very costly mistake.

If I am seeing the driveshaft through view hole correctly, it looks like you have just hair too much of the drive shaft showing Back it off by about 1mm or so and then put the bolt and clamp on just for safety purposes as Stan strongly suggested.

in its current position the bolt will fit into the missing clamp.
but your correct the cutout is not perfectly centered
