Some of you may know that my steering shaft got toasted a couple weeks back, so after some research to determin that I have to buy a new one, I went with the Bourgson Vibration dampening shaft!
Holy Sh@T, what a difference, Turns so smooth, no negative feed back like shuttering through the column any more. If you need to up-grade your shaft, this is the only way to fly. Install was not bad at all, took about 2 hours and I think 5 beers, working at a leisurly pace. The only complaint and is really not a big one, when they drilled the Coupler from the shaft to the column, they key-wayed it back wards, so... My steering wheel is up-side-down (big woopy).
Cause of the tranny issues and the throw-out bearing scoring the hell out of the Pilot bushing, the heep is almost hi-way ready! Oh ya, I got second gear back, but 5th has seam to disappear! (put 90 weight gear oil in the tranny to try to re-vive it)

I paid $270 shipped, and it is a completly re-buildable unit. Lift time guarantee on the shaft and couplings.
On mine one of the U-joins detonated to say the least

Well that's good to know, but hopefully I'll never have to take this little piece of advice. But, then again with my luck I'll be calling them in a week.
