Opinions on these 26 Spline Input shafts? (20 In stock!)

Been watching the horrible shortage and just happened to randomly check out ebay and found these. Decent prices considering what they've been selling for. Am I missing something here or is this a good opportunity? They have a lot of available.

Just noticed the Q&A too.

Q: Hello, I just wanted to verify that this part is in stock? I know this has been on back order from tremec for quite awhile. Thank you
A: Hi, good morning. Yes, they are back in stock now. We just received 20 of them Thanks, Tom T.

They look legit, have a good feed back, and paypal has buyer protections. If tremec is to be believed these guys may have gotten one of the first shipments.

Wow, nice find. Was wondering if we'd ever see these again!

i just bought one and was going to share the same link. i didn't buy the "install kit" though for an extra $70...lethal has the shim kits for $20.

now i just need the $ for an RXT.

i bought one ....i now have 3 on order haha. We'll see who comes through 1st.

Hopefully i can get this darn RXT installed, been sitting here since xmas

Just bought one - shaft only. Not really sure on what all they were including for the additional $70?

The difference is in the pics.
Looks like both bearings/races and the seal.

The bearing is probably pretty expensive I'm sure thats where a large portion of the extra money goes.

correct cj428mach - those bearings/races and seal are not the cheapest parts in the world - they do cost anywhere from 60-80 dollars from my experience

When lethal sold these they came with the 2 bearings and races. It looks like their kit doesn't come with the shims so you would still need those.

Yes there has been a shortage for months, so they went fast! I am sure more will be out there. If this guy in arizona got some, others soon will have them too!

This really blows, I've been waiting for them and now they're sold out again? just my luck.

hmm, did you order the bearings and races in addition? I have ordered a lot of them from Lethal and they only came with a bearing already installed on the input shaft. No races, 1 bearing.

 

[Rich'sTRsvt]

I just checked my receipt and no I did not order anything besides the input and shims. It definitely came with the pressed on bearing and the other bearing and race were in a little box separately that shipped with the input shaft. It may not have came with a race for the pressed on bearing, that I don't remember.

 

[TRBO VNM]

I wonder if it was on accident and that other bearing and race were duplicates of the bearing already on the input shaft. I know D&D did not come with a bearing unless you ordered and you had to press it on. Maybe there was a mixup. Oh well, free parts. lol
