I have a mate with an import TERANO that blew his box while towing a car from Melbourne to Adelaide. He recons the mechanic the fixed it made him feel like a twat cos he should have known better than to tow in top gear because 4th gear (in a 5 speed box) is on a direct shaft through the box but 5th is on a offset shaft in the box and causes extra heat (or something, I didnt go into specifics with him) when under load. At the time I thought it was BS but who knows?
