The covers are breaking with the 3x units due to the centrifugal force of the planetary gear set that forms the fundamental basis of the Helix units. We broke 2 vacuum pumps with the 4x units, but not with the 3x.
What is 3x or 4x unit? I only find one unit... Also, if the HOD unit is causing something to break than that part should be included with $850 price tag.

The fact remains... overdrive unit by it self break shit in a car. If you paying that much money than it should be sold complete product. It's like saying you can buy this expensive product but can't use it without also buying another 50 dollar product. Get a laptop but battery not included lawl... Don't unplug the power cable or you will lose your data.
