The kit that I bought included bearings that I did not need, 1 ball and 2 sets of rollers.
They offered to refund only 1/2 of what I paid claiming that some industrial versions of the T96 needed those certain bearings.
So what--I bought a kit for a car!!
Additionally, I needed an extra bearing for one that they did supply and I found it locally for 1/2 of what they charged me.

Good to know.

In any case, I use the Club and club member vendors whereever and whenever possible anyway.

To all,


I pull back my recommendation on Drive Train.com  I am having similar issues with them as Terry had. I am still working with them to reslove those issues. The kit they sent me did not have the gaskets for the OD section. I too, have problems with the bearings they included. They have asked me for the bearing numbers from my Tranny/OD. I think they are trying to get a solution in place. I will keep people informed.
