some times there are problems with the metal gears. If they happen to match up perfectly inside with the worm gear, they should last forever. If they don't, they'll fail pretty quick because the worm gear gets eaten up.

I tell ya. I did the gear flip 5 years ago and its still holding fine on one of my motors.
