Try typing out your problem a bit more coherently?

If they break regardless of rain, then you're using more than 3 axles in a row. Or maybe you're putting the gearboxes the wrong way?

Your gearbox is burning down, I think, cover all the sides with wathever block, just don't let it to catch fire

[Beerkeg]

hmm since why would a gearbox catch on fire?

And no there is a max of 3 axles between each gearboxes, they only thing i can think of atm is that they switch to onw and off using a turntable with torch on it.

Is it the on and off motion that breaks gearboxes? quite confused

hmm since why would a gearbox catch on fire?

because it's made mostly from wood.

[Beerkeg]

yeah but what starts a gearbox to catch fire? i mean cept lighning or direct fire?

and now all my freaking gearboxes are breaking furthur down the line.. they break faster then i can replace em...

Put a wool of wood block where your GB are, and come back a bit later. If they're gone, then you know what the problem is. If not, then there's something wrong.
GB catches fire the same way wool or wood does, so if they're too close from a fire they'll burn the same way.

yeah i have one gearbox that is 3 blocks away from a hibachi and she is intact.. but the one connected to wich is 7 block away from the hibachi as disapeared.. so freaking wierd

On the picture I can only see two missing gearboxes, both in the range of fire (one fire under the cauldron, as shown in the picture, the other, presumably under the crucible)

Fire spread science in minecraft. You basically can't have a gearbox closer than 2 blocks to the sides, or 8 blocks above a hibachi (9 if it's stoked), or other fire.

also make sure it isn't receiving power from more than one direction (i cant tell if it is because of the cauldrons particles)
