I'll bet that as on the RS Spyder and the Dome that only certain parts are fully CFC. Anything that near intense heat or stress points will at the least have some aluminum or steel reinforements.

Reinforcements in the casing wouldnt help once the bonding starts to fall apart .
Mike ..... what temp can a gearbox get to , and whats the breakdown temp of carbon fibre ? Are you aware of any system of NDT that works in this day and age for CF . As far as I know , it doesnt exist ?
Also , any fatigue crack would quickly become contaminated with hot oil and detereiorate even quicker , breaking down the CF faster .
