If he didnt abuse it then sorry for the earler post but it sure seems like it was.
Yeah, its very possible... I once recal a guy in the zetec forum whom had to get his Timing belt fixed 3 times (I think )... now was that his fault it kept breaking? Nope, mechanic wasnt installing it right. Its probibly the same situation with his, THe mechanic didnt install the 2nd engine properly... As for the transmission... Its not uncommon for the MTX-75 to take a dump on you... I try to baby my trannie as much as I can... NEVER grind the gears (knock on wood) and try not to run it hard.
But back on topic... Im sorry to hear your CSVT go But an RSX..... is teh new hotness. And you should have LOADS of fun with that car.
