As you can see they are showing signs of fretting on the small pins that hold the large pins into the Center Diff. If these smaller pins shear, the larger pins fly out under the centrifugal force of the clutch and machine their way through the outer gearbox casing (for those that don't know the center diff is in the gearbox, and the front diff is in the transfer case).

I thrash my car every day (if you got it, use it, including the odd hand brake turns, clutch drops and of course sideways action under power with ASC off wherever possible) and now have 15K miles with 300AWHP ( I had 450 for about 500 miles but hated the lag ).

No signs of issues so far. Fingers crossed.
