Can't find a Speedy Sleeve!

I have a slow leak at the output shaft on my np231. I was going to just replace the seal, but I've heard that with almost 200k miles, I should also install a speedy sleeve b/c of the wear on my drive shaft. Problem is, the knuckle-heads at auto zone have no clue what I'm talking about, and I refuse to enter a Pep-boys. Where would you find one of these gizmos without having to order it online?
 

Do you have the measurements? If so, check out your local Caterpillar dealer.
 

Have you inspected the slipyoke to see if it's grooved and you even need to sleeve it? A replacement yoke would be a lot easier/cheaper.

I'd replace the seal, and if necessary, the yoke.
 
I havn't done anything yet. I decided to just put the seal on and not worry about the sleeve b/c I'm going to have to get an SYE in the near future anyway, so why bother. If it does leak after the new seal it should be slow enough to manage for a couple months.
