Need help, My mechanic has informed me that my issue with my 1993 968 Tiptronic Cab is the torque tube, and we are having a very difficult time in trying to track one down. can anybody point us to someone or a vendor that I can get this part?. Any help is appreciated.

why would you replace the entire tube?  normally you just replace the bearings

There is one on ebay, in the UK, a little over $200.   Item number:  282234708712

 

Also do a search on "Porsche 968 torque tube" and some rebuild places surfaced.

Called Black Sea and  they were very helpfull and informed me that I would need a SPLIT torque tube and they don't service this part.

weird.  the last time i talked to them, the one that they would not service was the split tube.  maybe they meant that you had a split one, and they won't do those, because typically they do a core/exchange deal.  check and see if yours has a split in it.  basically it would look like a 1/8 "-1/4" wide slot at one end.

They sell the bearings that your mechanic could install in your tube, they just don't service the split ones.

EDM, you might get some help on a post over on R.L..

 

Well I can not delete the below link for some reason. Go over to Rennlist.com and on the Water Cooled 944 / 968 postings look for the post of Der Treiber , TT Bearing question , 1-19-17. This is a good post and even shows the pictures they are talking about how to affix the bearings with steel pop rivets.
