Based on my experience I think anyone considering using a T 10 that might need rebuilding, or any new internal parts, should first find a shop that you were pretty sure could do the job and had the parts to do it. When I built my slabside about 17 years ago I had the T 10 worked on four times before I found a fellow in the San Diego area that knew what he was doing and it finally was perfect. The first rebuild had the input shaft barely engaging the pilot bearing (wrong part obviously). The shop that did the work took it all apart and that problem was solved but a couple more were created- bad gear noise and wrong speedo drive gear. Had more work done at another shop and it was still bad. Third time was a charm. Seems like there was a shortage of good parts, especially matching gearsets, back then and I have a feeling that the situation is even worse now.
