Removing Bosch Drill Pins - Cause of Failure?

[sanddrag]

Okay,

Last year we did not modify our bosch trannies from the way we received them. We used them in a four motor drive and never once did they fail. However, they would make aweful crunching noises every now and then, that I assume is the pins.

To make for a smoother driving experience (like running on only Chips), I was thinking we would remove the pins this year.

I read all the other posts and threads on this topic and have not found my exact question asked or answered before.

Is there a direct correlation between removing the pins and drill tranny failure?

I don't think removing the pins would be the source of the transmission problems but perhaps taking the gearbox apart would cause it to go back together differently or looser. Is this true?

I want those pins gone but I never want to have to open or replace the transmission after that.
