difference in trannys?

i bought a steel throughtout bearing retainer from summit racing and the shim and race wouldnt fit in it so i called them and they said that either the part was messed up or i have a world class t-5 not the stock borg warner t-5 because the shim and race are bigger in the world class t-5. i was wondering what the difference between the 2 is and which one is better?
