The clue is in my original question 'Mine was over 400lb/ft ten years ago, how many T5's did you witness having stripped gears then?' ie TEN years ago, you saw T5's stripping gears TEN years ago?

Mines still going strong and it's had pain, just regular gear changes and it's still fine in and out of all gears.
