Yes, they *can* go bad, there is some electronic parts in there. I replaced mine one time in 20 years of use, I believe it was ~$100. The old one just stopped working, so it was hard to shift out of gear.

Can't impress on you how important it is to get that little rubber thingy with the splines on the inside GLUED to the shaft. It prevent water from getting in to the coupler and doing just what happened to you.
