A torque transmission shaft is configured having increased coupling strength between end joints and a cylindrical member to achieve high transmission torque. Misalignment and disengagement of outer collars (connection members) is effectively prevented in the step of press fitting the torque transmission shaft to another component, such as a constant velocity joint. Circlips are fitted in annular grooves formed in the end joints. The circlips abut and lock the outer collars. The outer collars each include a smaller diameter portion, and an end surface of the smaller diameter portion includes a plurality of hollow portions. The hollow portions allow a clearance between a serrated portion and the smaller diameter portion to communicate with the exterior of the outer collar. Air bubbles contained in an adhesive are allowed to escape out of the clearance through the hollow portions, and thus the clearance is filled with the adhesive densely.
