after a few more hours of searching, I finally found and answer myself, smack it with a bedrock 2x gear...Looking through the changelogs for reika's mods, I thought shaft junctions were upgradeable with bedrock, does anyone know how/if this works, NEI is no help in this and I can't figure it out.
Originally I thought it was the torsion resistance upgrade, but I can't figure out how to add it to the junction, if it is.
