I have successfully stripped gears on a M41... of course, it still got me down the road, but without first gear...maybe reverse too...don't remember, but the small gear on the layshaft was no longer a gear.

Of course, that was due to a set of bad (missing my then) roller pin bearings in the layshaft followed by first gear clutch dump from redline when I was having a bad day... no fault at all of the gearbox. I have also seen lots of chipped and broken teeth in gears of M40/41.

I would think the M410 would indeed be a beefier unit, but they have the bearing issue... they are all noisy, and if they aren't...they will be soon.
