if you can i would try and run the low pinion, i dont think it would give you as much trouble as the high pinion would. Gearing options are much cheaper too.

Here is a picture of our suzuki half hi steer kit. It moves the draglink above the spring pack and leaves the original suzuki tie rod below the spring pack.

As with the full kit the arm is machined from billet and the draglink is 4140.

Cost for this kit is $610

Ask the driveshaft place if it is a spicer joint. Have you taken it to them to check it out? If there are no signs of binding or the the shaft hitting something to cause the failure they should be able to sort out something with their supplier as it may be just a dodgy joint.

What brand cardan joint is it? spicer?

If so, check with spicer to see if it is suitable for the torque it is subjected to.

to make a short throw shifter you machine a spacer to space the gearlever off the box and then extend the part of the lever that actually shifts the shift forks by the same amount.

This way you are increasing the leverage ratio, giving a much shorter throw.
