## Description

Replacement drive socket kit.

Review: Blended. - Original part , fits with no issues.
Review: Quick fix for smoking blender - I ordered this 10 years ago, having had a Vitamix blender for 5 years at the time. I like to be prepared! Anyway, after continued daily use, I finally needed it today. There was an awful smoky burning smell coming from the existing drive socket but with the replacement in place it's all good to go again. It took about 10 minutes to do the job. Note that you need a blob of silicone sealant to finish the job.

- Kit includes instructions

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the one that will fit on {is for} the "Vitamix Model 5000"??**
A: I bought this part in 2005, and it fit my 5000 perfectly.  After 14 years of heavy use and five kids, it has finally cracked and I just ordered a new one.  We love our blender on steroids.

**Q: Does this kit include a new screw to hold it in place?**
A: Kit includes drive socket, set screw and allen wrench. Basically everything you need. One word of caution the set screw is slanted at an upward angle just like the original and be sure to start the set screw first but not too far just a turn or 2. Also make sure the socket is seated completely I had to slightly tap mine in it kind of snaps in place.

**Q: Does this fit 5200**
A: This does not fit!!!!!!!  And it is not returnable either- do not buy for your 5200!!!!!

**Q: hello, does it fit for vm0122 model?**
A: My model Vitamix is VM0103 and it did fit mine.  I researched it every which way and read on some sites that it will work with my model while other sites said that it will not work.  I took a chance since it was not too expensive.  It took a lot of nerve on my part to finally try it out and use my machine but when I did I was very happy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genuine vitamix drive socket
*by A***R on 1 October 2022*

I previously bought a non Vitamix drive socket from china which was a complete waste of time and money as it isn’t balanced as a genuine model is and it ran like a marble in a biscuit tin. As soon as I bought this genuine one and fitted it everything was nice and quite. Runs like a sweetie now..
