I thought T888 had initially thought SVG's DNF was a trans-axle failure later updated to being an engine failure.

An engine problem was the cause of Shane van Gisbergen’s failure to finish the opening race of the Beaurepaires Melbourne 400.
Van Gisbergen slowed while running fourth on lap 22 of the 25, pulling off the road and parking on the right-hand side at Turn 2.
The 29-year-old had trouble downshifting when the issue occurred, leading to the team initially suspecting a problem with the new-for-2019 Xtrac gearbox.
However, the Red Bull Holden Racing Team has since confirmed that an engine problem, thought to be a cambelt failure, was the root cause.
