The threads on the prop shaft coupling are stripped out.(‘88 C30 universal M25XP w/ hurth transmission). Where can I get a replacement and would a drive saver or some kind of soft coupling be a good idea?

Prop Shaft Coupling

Dear Hayden Watson, Here locally in Seattle, a good source for couplings is Doc Freeman’s. Their phone number is 206-633-1500. You would have to only provide the same information to them as you supplied in your note to me in order to get the correct unit. I'm not certain why your coupling failed in the first place so I'm not certain if a flexible coupling would have helped. A flexible coupling will help to reduce shock load, which can be caused by simple shifting maneuvers to mass impact with the propeller. Usually, if sized correctly, a flexible coupling should sacrifice itself before transmission components fail. If you are finding it difficult to find the coupling halves, please feel free to contact me directly and I will put one of my people on it for you. Sincerely, Kevin L. Woody
