More torque will also mean shorter life for g'box.
For example Tata engines can do 90bhp(DICOR), but the gearbox cannot handle it while maintaining required reliability profile
Not only the gearbox, in any engine where tolerances are limited, extra power will hasten the failure of critical components.
But in toyota's etc., you won't find much of a problem.
Reason, those engines are built to last 200-300K kms with normal use. If they last only 150K kms, you won't notice, because the target audience rarely keeps the vehicle above 100K.
