We are thinking of making a hardened tool steel shaft for off seasons, but that may just transfer the wear to the gears instead of the shaft.

I know Team Mean Machine made a custom ball shifter this year with completely hardened components for their shooter. The previous steel shaft had been damaged by the bearings when under shift + high tension. I don't have any up close photos of the shifter, but it's what they used to winch the punch back.
