Has anybody used Ecklers couplers? I called & asked if they are the made in Germany version & they said they buy them from MI & couldn't tell me where they are made. I'm interested in using them in stock street cars

John if they are getting the bushings out of MI then I think they are getting them from Danny Kellemeyer - that's were we got ours.

What do you guys think about polyurethane bushings?
RPM Transmissions has them for $375 a pair.

Or maybe using one of them in front and a solid in the rear?

Is it true that polyurethane bushings will create a lot of clunking, vibration and other noises...?

Prothane makes a nice coupler. We use it in our race car with no issues.

I have a 99 6spd apart rt now & it has all 3 bearings different. The size not mentioned in this thread is 6010 DU

Default Tt

Do you have the front input shaft(engine side) for a TT C5 1998 auto that I can purchase?
