the gears will have a much greater difference than the aluminum driveshaft will. i do notice a difference with the DS on my car, but i would do gears first if i were you. the aluminum DS weighs less than the stock one. it cuts down on rotational mass. i noticed that it will rev quicker and respond to throttle inputs faster.
the DS can definitely wait imho. in your case, it would be one of the last things i would do.

Id say gears or new springs. Springs would be cheaper, if you can get some help with the install you can do them in a garage in a couple hours. Plus they can be found used quite often. The gears need to be done by a GOOD shop and will be atleast twice as much as the springs.

Ive heard mixed review about the shift block. I went with a bbk short throw. I dont think bbk makes it anymore though because i havent been able to find it since i bought it. I have never had a problem with it though. If you do go with the shifter block there are plenty of write ups on this forum to help u with installation. I believe the write up is from tacobill but im not %100 on that.

I mean for $50 its not a big loss if it doesnt work. But if it does work you will be happy with it. I would say just go for it. There is a thread on this site that might be of some help to you. I saw it not to long ago. You should be able to search shifter block and get everything that you may need to know.
