what are your opinions?

Hey Jay, I have a machinest that possibly could do this, he has the ability to reweld and machine parts and then he heat treats them for strength. We (I have an in house standard transmission builder who mainly does T56's, T5's, and 3650's) had a main shaft on a T56 that wore badly where third presses on, he asked us to let him try and fix it before we bought a new main shaft. We tried it and he actually added a bit more material than stock to keep the gear from wearing, we reinstalled it and have had zero problems. The customers car that this is in is making north of 600rwhp in a Trans Am, he's very happy.
Maybe there is a way that he can add material to the point on the shaft so that the synchro will press on... just a thought.
