From a reliability standpoint we see roughly an equal number of failures on the C2 gearboxes versus the AWD C4 gearboxes. The problem with both of them is the 1st and 2nd gear synchros and dog teeth. However, this is not to say that the failures are chronic, but just to say that, when they happen, they happen to both gearboxes because the point of failure and the weakness is identical in both of them. The failures are not related to the center or front differentials and the AWD system. They are related to the 1st and 2nd gear design.
