If you are breaking metal parts instead of wearing clutches and expendable parts, that is a sure sign of material defect. People are using (and abusing) these things all to hell, and not breaking metal parts. Granted, it probably wouldn't have broken under the normal 350 Brake Horsepower tuning. Maybe it would have eventually anyway (just not at 29,000 miles). I don't know if I would call it a dud, it just didn't have quite the same enormous extra strength that most all the other 5R110's are built with.
