The trans is rated at 400 lb-ft of torque. Its obvious that some exceed this and have no problems. What breaks trans parts is impact. Limit the torque impact sessions and you will not break stuff. What eats synchros is poor clutch release or poorly timed shifts. The trans cannot tell the difference between a bad clutch or a bad driver.
