A unitized disc pack for use in a disc pack coupling includes at least two coaxial discs forming a disc pack. The disc pack defines a first axially outwardly facing face and a second axially outwardly facing face facing away from the first outwardly facing face, and includes a plurality of axially aligned holes formed through said disc pack. A first flanged bushing including a flange extends into one of the holes formed through the disc pack. The first flanged bushing is inserted into the one of the holes from the first outwardly facing face of the disc pack. The first flanged bushing flange engages the first outwardly facing face of the disc pack. A second flanged bushing including a flange extends into one of the holes formed through the disc pack. The second flanged bushing is inserted into the one of the holes from the second outwardly facing face of the disc pack. The second flanged bushing flange engages the second outwardly facing face of the disc pack, such that the discs are sandwiched between the flanges of the first and second flanged bushings.
