There are quite a few Sonnax spool or spool & liner kits available for the 5L40-E transmission so I guess it depends upon how many of these have been fitted.

The gearbox fails as the alloy used in the valve block is softer than normal, so the bores wear and deposit filings into the oil, which then causes other parts to wear. The reduced pressure then causes the other parts to have accelerated wear and the circle continues. At least that's my understanding.
