P.S. Never seen a shaft bend or come loose, shaft bearings or needle roller bearings are usually the culprit. The shafts are made of stainless steel about an inch in diamter... bendable? Not unless you've got some serious horsies, like 800.
While I know most manual tranny's share the same operating principal, I assure you the Chevy tranny's that I used to race my 600HP 454 Chevelle do not have 1 inch thick stainless steel shafts in them. Thus, they did bend often (Too often, IMO). Seeing as how these tranny's are of considerably less "beef" than a Chevy one, I assumed the shafts would be more prone to failure.
