Junkyardbear Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 A month of owning and I have the shaft click on my 45.000 miles import vert auto 2005. I get the common click when I select reverse and moving off going forward. It seems to do this when the car is warm . I have 2 months national warrenty left that covers the car for everything @ up to £80 A hour Labour up to £5000 total claim. Should i get it re grease and replace what's needed or go for the upgraded shaft I've read about that has the problem solved? Any advice would be great thank u. I have read the click thread but would like some condenced info to produce to my mechanic Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 If your warranty covers everything like you say, then it is a bit of a no brainer. Go for the new click free upgrade, but remember to grease up well on assembly. Quote
Junkyardbear Posted January 2, 2018 Author Posted January 2, 2018 Just as I thought. Where would be the best place to purchase or is this a dealer thing? Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 This is what you require and I should have in stock: Circa £250.00 per side, and 1 hour to fit each side. Quote
Junkyardbear Posted January 2, 2018 Author Posted January 2, 2018 What's total inc delivery to Lincolnshire many thanks. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 I would require to check prices when back in the shop after the holidays, however, £515.00 shipped to your door should cover it. Just drop me a PM if I can help you further. Alex. Quote
davey_83 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 First action would be, re grease shafts and re torque to correct spec. If whereby that doesn't work, then progress to replacing parts. I carried out first action myself about 2 years ago and it's been perfect since. However as we're talking warranty, with a limited window for repair......... half of me is saying do the minimum repair that's needed, the other says go for the replacement parts *thinking out loud. 1 Quote
Junkyardbear Posted January 2, 2018 Author Posted January 2, 2018 If the new parts don't fail like the old I'll go for it. But also I could put in the claim get parts store parts get the ones that are on re greased and if they fail again fit updated parts. Now that seems the right thing to do. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 The new parts are upgraded and you will not have the same issues. Just drop me a PM if you wish to proceed. Alex. Quote
