As requested video of the gear whine. 3rd is pretty quiet, 4th whines a little more, I can't believe how much the camera picked up, it definitely doesn't sound that loud in the car lol.

These gears won't address any shifting problems you may be having. Brian's transmission shifts incredibly, but that is because of the hours and hours of work I put in at the shop deburring, detailing, polishing, and modifying the shift components.
Getting a custom billet aluminum or steel shift fork would not be too hard to do. I can't imagine how hard you're banging the shifter to be breaking them, let alone more than once lol calm down son!

A CD009 transmission won't solve the engagement ring problem AFAIK.
All you really "need" is third gear since no one that I know of has broken 4th. Third gear is about $600 and then you just have to figure labor to pull and reinstall trans and a teardown and rebuild. If you are doing the R&R yourself, this would most likely be cheaper than buying a 009 trans (that doesn't ensure avoiding failure down the road).
