So maybe it's not the AWD or RDU that's the weak point, but the gearbox itself?
Bingo, and I would bet money that Mountune kit does bugger all. Shot peening gears and a few upgrades doesn't address any of the issues that are inherent in that gearbox! I've worked on gearbox design for a fair few years, admittedly not on cars but a gearbox is a gearbox!
