Default SQ g trim failures?

How many people have had their SQ gtrim fail on them and what were the circustances? Also how many people have the SQ gtrim on the car and it has not failed and how long have you been running it? Thanks

did yours lock up because of a bearing failure or because of a gear failure?

If you read the post SJH has the problem figured out pretty much the gears that are cut to keep it quiet produce side load on the bearing under fast reving the load increases more than the bearing is designed for and I can tell you my motor revs very fast and yes the bearing is what went. If you are using it in its stock form on a stock motor I think you will be fine but if you are going to mod it I would get one that makes noise (Strait cut gears).
