Do you mean replacing the rear driveshaft and rotoflex with a serviceable, jointed shaft?
Looking for a cleanish D1 for my weekend warrior (and also suggestions).

No, I made clear I was not looking for a new shaft, just single u-joint replacement in the extremely simple rear shaft. It was a stock truck with new rotoflex and bushing. I grew up in European car shops and was a service writer, which is why I just could not believe the quote and asked twice to be sure.
I learned to drive on a manual in a 74-series Land Cruiser, much of it off-road in South Africa. No question that driving a manual off-road requires more skill, but it's also a more engaging driving experience. If you apply yourself anyone can learn to do it. I'd rather drive a manual off-road than in congested urban traffic. Which I have also done. Dodging the minibus taxis in downtown Durban is...exciting. Driving a manual in Seattle - hills AND shitty traffic - not so much fun.
