This is a major contributing factor as to why I have recently pulled the plug on the US domestic automaker products.
Kudos to the engineers to design a climate control gear that breaks in due time. I SWEAR that this is a feature designed into it. There's no way that the aftermarket replacement is more expensive to produce. It is a simpler design as well. Why else would a person go through the effort of creating a gear like the original?

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.....these car companies in North America have been doing this shit to their loyal customers for 60 or 70 years.......they will NEVER stop until we WAKE UP and stop them.

This is the fifth or sixth video that I've watched on this replacement. The explanations from start to finish and the camera angles you were able to achieve are by far the best yet. Thank you for taking the time to do this video!!

[@bobuvodich9847]

I agree! This video actually shows you the removal of all parts.

A well explained video.

This video is great! BUT I have a question.. which gear is broken if my air is only coming from feet and defrost and not switching to front vents because I heard you say it depends on if it’s blowing from defrost or feet? But I’m getting both of those.. just not front vents?

Hmm probably bottom one i think, you could try a long screwdriver to check and spin gear open to test
