nicksquest Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 found the part # on here but can i still get a extension shaft?? and the bearing just to be sure is also used as a clutch pilot bearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarquestRescue Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 and the bearing just to be sure is also used as a clutch pilot bearing?No, it is different from a clutch pilot bearing. I bought one at a bearing store, was like #35. Last i checked the shafts were nla for the intercooled cars. Do not know about the non intercooled.

Indiana Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 MB00 0968 is your front torque tube bearing. Nope, no more shafts or companion flanges sorry, clean that rust out and grease that back up so it will last longer and you'll have to live with the clunk.

psu_Crash Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I don't think your splines look too bad. I recently had mine apart and after a cleaning it got packed with grease. Any clunking is now minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdScrip Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 From my understanding the torque tube itself should not have any grease in it. In fact there is a small drain hole at the bottom of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 It was greased when it was new, not full or grease just greased. There is no gasket on that connection to the differential. There is also no vent in the torque tube and condensation does get in there and that causes old bare steel to rust and rust is like sandpaper and just eats it away. If you never have taken that apart and cleaned and lubed it I suggest you do its only wearing out quicker and there are no replacement parts and its sort of a necessary part.

87TsiOwner Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I know you've probably gotten this fixed by now but you can go to any autoparts store for the front torque tube bearing. it is a federal mogul part no. 206-FF.Also yes you can still get the extension shafts and spline couplers through mitsubishi but you will be waiting at least 3 weeks to get them because they are coming from Japan.
