This is a good find though. People should take a look at it to see the video. The part where they remove the C clip, that step will be a bitch to re-install the C clip. Then where he pops the metal cover off, that is BS. I did a lot of searching, and most people seem to mess the cover up. You really need to be careful in doing this part. You bend that cover, nothing is going to make it fit right again.

When my gear fails again, I am going to try to rebuild my actuator. But I have time. So no worries. Hopefully someone else tries it before me.

Has anyone tested the part from this vendor?
My gear wasn't worn out as badly. My problem was actually fixed by replacing alternator regulator. I suspect this gear issue was originally caused by voltage surge.

However, it still makes grinding noise occasionally without lightening up the dashboard. Very annoying.
If any one has used the gear from this vendor successfully please let me know.

The Italians are selling this for $300 plus on ebay. Thanks in advanced.
