Heck, I have two Cummins powered trucks that are manual transmission (both are 4x4). I have to replace the clutch in those at about the same interval or less, which obviously requires the transmissions and transfer cases to come down, so I guess I'm not that opposed to removing transmissions every so often.
Maybe materials have gotten better, but having been a gearhead for decades and played with everything from motorcycle racing to farm tractors, I've never had good experience with oil wet belts in anything. I think it's the cheap way out, not the best way, and if they're willing to be cheap on something as important as the oil pump, what other engineering decisions did the accountants get to make?
