I will say that other than the need for a helper spring on the outside lever, I haven't read of many--if any "real" failures of the internals. there have been a few on the various forums where the user dumped it into gear while moving or revving, and of course damage will ensue. the externals give more fits with cables and the setup can cause premature output shaft and or bearing problems if chain tension and mounting isn't done right. I've got two internals right now, one on my wife's baja, and one in parts in the basement. Neither has had reverse problems yet.
