(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I received an OEM part. Once I got the old drive gear off, installing the new one was very easy. It came with the set screw & an allen wrench. The hard part was getting the old one off. I had to use a drill to open the screw access hole slightly to be able to remove the screw. Then the old drive had to be pried off. After that - just a clean up of debris and install new drive. My vitamix works great now.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - worked like a charm and very easy to install!
After using my Vitamix 5200 at least once daily for the past 9 years, I began mixing my morning smoothie then the blades just stopped rotating, although the motor was still running. When I took the container off the base and turned the machine back on I noticed the drive socket (didn't know that was the name of the little round thingie in the top middle of the base until just this week) wasn't rotating. With Christmas only a couple weeks away, the thought of purchasing a new machine or sending mine off for weeks to be repaired was repugnant. Reason dictated that the motor itself seemed to be working just fine, so I began researching online to learn what to do and came across the Vitamix Drive Socket Kit here on Bolo.I read the reviews and decided it was certainly cheap enough to order the kit with 1-day shipping (so I could get back to my smoothies sooner - hopefully). As other reviews have stated the instructions were very clear and easy to follow -- plus installing the new drive socket totally corrected the problem!One thing not mentioned in recent reviews is that after the new drive socket is installed, the instructions recommend putting a small bead of silicone over the screw hole used to tighten the new socket. That's not something we keep on hand, however we were very careful when changing out the old drive socket not to destroy the old silicone -- we just gently held it away from the hole -- and were able to then just push it back into place.This kit is worth every penny if you problem is the drive socket! As long as your Vitamix motor is still working when you turn it on, and if the blades in the container have stopped spinning, this is definitely the first thing I would suggest trying!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great.
Worked perfectly. Matched the original perfectly as far as I could tell. Comes with Allen tool and set screw just as shown in picture. Gonna order another so I have a spare since they seem to break every 2 years.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect replacement part.
If you have a Vita-Mix Blender (mine is a Commercial Grade "VM0115A" T&G (touch and go) 2 Blending Station Part Number 34013) and need a replacement Drive Socket then this is your part! This socket works on all "Commercial" Grade Blenders, except the Food Processor "Vitamix XL". If you have a "Home" Grade (non-Commercial) model then you'll have to call Vitamix at 1-800-848-2649 to see if this is the right part for your Blender. I can find it around $10 at several places on the internet but the shipping charges were so high it's actually cheaper to order it here at Bolo. Especially if you get the Free Shipping option for an order over $25, or have Prime. I bought 2 so I have a spare and got Free Shipping. The Allen wrench comes with the part so there's no other tools needed. Takes 5 minutes to switch out the part. Instructions come with the part too.A word of advice to those that have never replaced these Drive Sockets before: get a second part because it is very easy to over tighten the set screw when initially installing the new part to the shaft. Also note that the alignment (angle) of the screw is slightly tipped upwards so if you are having a hard time getting the Allen wrench to line up to the Allen set screw just make sure this plastic Drive Sockets raised alignment arrow is first lined up to the opening in the blender housing (run your finger over the sockets outer edge if you're having a hard time seeing the arrow). Then very lightly turn the Allen wrench clockwise until it stops. DO NOT CONTINUE TIGHTENING THE SCREW because you can very easily strip out the threads of the plastic socket housing. Once it's stripped out the socket won't stay on the shaft. That's why I buy 2. I don't like the design that allows the part to strip out so easily but I guess that's why so many people need this part.Once it's tight, back off the screw 1/4 counter-clockwise turn and try to hand pull the Drive Socket up off the shaft. If the Socket stays in place then it's tightened correctly. Now turn it on to make sure it doesn't vibrate wildly. If it does vibrate you'll need to loosen up the screw and rotate the socket 90 degrees and retighten it again (don't forget the 1/4 counter-clockwise adjustment). Repeat as necessary. That's it- you're all ready to go. Margarita anyone?Update Nov.9,2014:If your looking for the part number of this socket Vitamix calls it part number 000891 (some places just refer it as "891") which gets you Qty 1.P/N 0155546 will get you Qty 2 (which I highly recommend since these will last about a year before they go bad), and P/N 015547 which will get you 5 pieces.

Fit perfectly
5.0 out of 5 stars Works well with model 5200
Works well. It would be helpful if they specify Vitamix models compatible with the item.

バイタミックスTNC5200ほぼ毎日10年以上使っていて、コンテナを買い替えたのでドライブソケットも交換しました。比べるとやはり摩耗しています。交換して安定感が増した気がします。付属の金具でネジを緩めて上に引いて外し、（ネジを外してしまわないように注意です。本体の中に入り込んで一苦労でした）新しいドライブソケットのネジを緩めてはめ込み、ネジを締めます。ネジ穴を塞ぐゴムも付属していました。
Original product
Working perfectly ...Good quality match vitamix standard

Einfach zu wechseln (klein Inbusschraube) und sehr gut Qualität. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Easy peasy. Made my blender work again.
