Tearing down a gearbox too frequently results in stripped holes in plastic and metal parts. There is not rust on the mechbox. It's aluminum and does not oxidize the same way that ferrous materials do.
Is there any evidence of a preexisting casting flaw that maybe have initiated the cracking? Accumulate enough repair history and you're going to get to see some obscure failures.
