You hadn't told me about that, but it certainly would make sense. In beigle's case, I suspect the unit itself is failing since it's heat that makes it fail, but I sure could see it being possible that an accumulation of metal debris would make it more prone to failure with less heat.

It was interesting replacing the flywheel ring gear once in my old Ford 2N tractor. Since a car is basically wheels with an engine but a tractor is an engine with wheels, this meant splitting the tractor in half and taking the flywheel to the dealership, where they knocked the ring gear off by splitting it with a chisel, then heated up the new ring gear and dropped it onto the flywheel. No tack-welds, no bolts, no nuthin'. Just a shrink-fit.
