i just finally pulled my trany and mine was originally a 1990 900s. i swapped in a turbo engine (ported head, larger turbo, after market exhaust and prgrammable ecu, etc.) and kept running the same tranny. the box had about 220k miles on it when i pulled it out and the reason for the failure was a chipped tooth in 3rd gear, not the pinion bearing. actually saw the chip drop out when i drained the oil. i always used the redline blue shockproof and did not do neutral drops, burnouts, or hard running in lower gears. i pretty much babied the box unless i was already in high gears and rolling speed. they will last, depending on how you drive it. that said, i have a new box coming and am about to put on a new downpipe with ext wastegate. so we'll see if my thoughts still hold in a few months....
