There are also a ton of different springs that can be used to adjust shifting points as well... i never did get the right combo.

As far as cv cables, the self adjusting ratchet type work the best... still, a pain in the ass.

i would say the 2nd, almost 1st, reason they fail, is they are hard to build correctly. the average trany shop cant do it right. its almost like you need a specialist for the dam things.

to me, if you want to cruise on the highway, get a gear vender. or put in a 5 or 6 speed trany. next time i do a conversion, it will be a 6 speed.. i wont waste my time and money on the temperamental pos 700r4.
