that info is correct on the 50/50 torque split on the early cases. We replaced a lot under warrnty, but later MB came out and said this is normal and would not pay to replace anymore. They will pay for complete failure or certain components. Some are worse than others and I have not figured out why yet, and I am sure some one out thier may have a fix , besides a new case wich runs about $2000 less labor.
