Me and a Mate had his W58 pulled apart today. They are a damn fine gearbox.
The gears are way overbuilt for most of the applications for which they are used.
The only gripe i ahve with them is the cast aluminium selector forks for 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th. There is no hardened face where the selector hub runs on, therefore it was already worn about 0.5 mm. We are going to check a G53 box tomorrow, it may have cast steel selectors.
Other than that i would have no reservations about running one behind something with some power.
