MAF values are used for load calculations and torque reduction during gearshifts. If it does not read correct it can cause extra load, stress and wear to gearbox during gearchanges.

That being said lot of failures are caused by faulty seal which fails due to age and thermal cycling. Oil contain conditioners for rubber parts but with age additives in oil wear out and stop conditioning them. Regular oil changes help to keep seals in good condition and last longer.
