Simply buy a new input shaft (1068 271 097) and compare. $360.00I doubt Kewish are doing anything to the shafts apart from buying the latest heat treated one.The “E” clutch pack (4th, 5th, and 6th gears) is the weakest link and you can increase the number of Frictions Discs and plates from 6 to eight which is cheap as chips. I actually increase the Friction discs in mine in “A’ ‘B’ & ‘E” packs>>>>> 6, 6 & 8 respectively. From 5, 5 and 6.So what abuse have you thrown at your new box with the latest heat treated shaft. Anymore than the box with the stock shaft

The other new shafts I've put in mates boxs are fine and not one broken so its "better" how much I wont know untill we break or twist another one.As for when the later shafts were in vehicle production I have no idea.
