Yes a new driveshaft will be needed to make it work. We have thought about making a gear set but after opening the OEM trans ,we've decided not to go down that path.

A complete 6-speed gearset would of costed $6k plus. Keep in mind, the synchro design on these gear boxes are not the greatest either. Only way to make the OEM box hold is a straight cut dog engagement. I cannot see any other way to make it reliable for big power usage.
