This is the first time Ive seen wear and tear benefits mentioned in a article about this system, but its one of the first things that came to mind when I read about it awhile back. Having owned used cars all my life, I am familier with worn synchros from "hotshoes" or people who do not know how to drive a manual. Having a manual that has a worn synchro in one gear really takes away from the driving experience.
I would assume that this system, if used regularly, would probably make the tranny synchros last much much longer.
