Jak,
We have experienced this exact failure in no less than (3) different 1988 900 SPG cars within the last 4 years; all 3 cars had the stock '88 transmission, and all 3 cars had their power cranked well beyond stock levels. All 3 cars stripped the teeth off of 3rd gear and the matching cluster gear teeth. All 3 cars then got an '89-'93 rebuilt box and all 3 have not (yet!) had the problem again (though one of the cars has been totalled since).
I agree...torque is the killer in this particular failure. None of the cases were cracked, by the way...
