If it wore out once, it can do it again...and may have already failed once or more times for the previous owner. It appears the "fix" is actually more reliable than the factory version (which appears to be a very poor design and the weak point in the drive train). I have yet to see one that was repaired in this manner fail (and lots of folks have done it) as it is significantly stronger than the factory/original version. Your call.
Mine is a long-term car too. We have had it a decade and are closing in on 200k. Good luck with your's.
