Jake, the double row bearing is much less prone to failure, isn't it? What is the incidence of failure of the double row vs the single row?

I won't touch that one with a ten foot pole.. as soon as I did some statistician would jump in and start a war. I am doing my best to stay away from percentages and any absolute statements concerning failure rates.

Jake,

Thanks for the reply to my questions, I think you've cleared up allot of the questions we all had of what the problem is and your fix. I can't wait to see the video on how to determine the unit that's installed. By the sounds of it do you really think that this is a DIY? For accessibility I'm sure the trans will have to be dropped because of the IMS retainers location just below the RMS, right? If that's the case, I'd say that's well beyond DIY for some.
