By my math, the deflection difference is not enough to cause their problem. I believe it was related to a loose fit between the hex and shifter shaft in the v1 version of the ball shifter shaft combined with their increased load case.

I bought several v1 Ball Shifters Transmissions when they first came out which are still unopened. We have yet to use them in our drivetrains, and used some of them instead for other robot features such as our winch for the ball launcher in 2014.
I better have them checked to possibly get the upgraded shafts.
