It also depends on how you drive. If you are a moron and can't shift and always grinds gears you are going to wear out your synchros and then in turn will break shift forks and rails.

This thread is a mute point though. Do some research, you will easily find out what breaks and what doesn't. Most of the things that break on DSMs are chronic and have happened a lot so it won't be hard to pinpoint them.

Starting a thread about what could happen is not going to help you. I mean if we tell you that you might throw a rod in the future are you going to go and get a fully built motor right away? If we tell you that your alternator might go four times in a year are you going to go and buy four alternators to prepare?

Just fix the car as it breaks and we will help you a long the way. This thread could get as long as a new girl thread if we listed everything that could and will happen to your car.
