If your putting a standard g52 box in it probably won't last long. Mate of mine has done 3 in 8 months.

G52, I done 4 in 12.5 years.

Driving style HAS to be modified. No dropping clutch or snap-changes.

Towing is not a problem either, it's just driving style.

Big throttle at low revs also hurts the G52.
