The strain is at its greatest when the tires are still getting traction about to break loose and again when the torque equalizes and the tires begin to regain traction. When tires are spinning wildly, the tires are taking almost all of the abuse. Obviously, the more often you spin the tires, the more often you subject your driveline to additional forces as the tires go into and come out of the spin condition.

The more you increase the torque delivering capacity of the PT and the more frequently you exceed the parameters Chrysler assumed in their reliability model, the shorter the life of the drivetrain.

Will it break in a few times, not likely. Will the life of drivetrain be impacted, yes.
