Replace things as they break, not because someone from C-Red told you so. Yes the gearboxes have a reputation but that is because back in the day everyone was thrashing the bejesus out of them with scant regard to service life. Ask almost any production transmission to constantly take hard launches, flat shifts and general abuse and it will end in tears. It is just amplified by the AWD system which makes losing traction harder, or in other words puts the driveline under more load because there is no wheel slip. You'll find that if you install a full face organic clutch it will serve as a bit of a 'fuse' for when the going gets tough and will slip a bit, allowing you to keep the gear teeth out of the bottom of the case.

Save your money (ING Direct has a good interest rate at the mo) and let it accrue interest for awhile while you drive around in one of the best cars ever made.
