Hello Sitmark.
I know what you mean. Last sunday I broken the third gear box of this year. I broken it always in the join betwen the shock tower and the gear box. The tab where you screw the shock tower with the gearbos is made with 3 very thin plastic walls and is obvious that cant support the stress long time.
I think that this is due to the design of the rear suspension. If you assembly the rear shochks as the manual indicate, the join bettwen the shock and the shock tower is far from the joint bettwen the gear box and the shock tower, so this tap of the GB should support stress in two directions, vertical and horizontal to the rear of the car. I just move the shocks to the rear of the car and reasembly the shock tower (Mine is from Five Stars) and now both joints are in the same vertical plane so in theory now the gearbox tab should suppor only stress in one direction. I'll probe it in a couple of weeks in my next meeting.
I hope you understand what I mean, my english is not as good as I wish.
Regards.
Fernando.
