X5 Transfer Case Actuator Motor Gear Replacement

[AV8R4AA]

Is this repair a recommended procedure, even if you don't have any
dash lights?
I ask because I am nearing 100K miles.
No dash lights at all.
I have a 2004 X5 4.4i

I think most people usually wait until they start experiencing symptoms of the failing gear. But considering the gear is $11 it wouldn't hurt to order one and keep it in your tool box for a rainy day!

I don't think many people do the repair until it becomes a problem. But for the $11 or whatever the gear costs on Amazon, you may as well order one and keep it in your tool box for a rainy day!
