SO LIKE HE'S SAYING THE GEAR MAY BE THE WRONG ONE!
JOE CUSTOMER MIGHT HAVE HAD 5 BOXES OUT LOOKING FOR THE ONE HE NEEDED. "PRESTO" - HE FOUND IT! THE OTHER 4 ARE IN THE WRONG BOXES, AS HE HAS THE ONE HE NEEDS, NO NEED TO WASTE TIME PUTTING 'EM IN THEIR CORRECT BOX
LET'S SAY THE GEAR IS A LITTLE SMALLER THAN THE CORRECT ONE (IF THERE IS SUCH) IT MAY BE SORTA "TOUCHING" BUT NOT FULLY MATING WITH THE WORM. SO WHEN YOU SPIN THE YOKE/ DRIVESHAFT, IT DOES TURN
NOW LETS THROW IN TWO CHANGES OF DIRECTION WITH THE OUTER SHROUD, NOW THE INNER CABLE HAS SOME RESISTANCE FROM THOSE BENDS. MR. GEAR NOW STARTS JUMPING THE WORM IT'S BARELY TOUCHING.
MAYBE THE SQUARE HOLE IN THE GEAR IS NOW ROUND (RETURNED "NEW" BY A PREVIOUS CUSTOMER, AFTER HE BUTCHERED IT. CABLE END MAY BE TOO SMALL FOR THE TRANNY END.
JUST SOME "IT CAN'T BE!" THOUGHTS
WE UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION, AND MOST ALL OF US HERE WILL SORTA LET YOU KNOW WHEN THEIR BRAIN IS SPENT! (WE STILL GET NOTIFIED IF THE THREAD CONTINUES, AND SOMETIMES JUMP BACK IN IF THE OLE LIGHT BULB POPS IN OVER OUR HEAD).
THERE IS A SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEM, WRONG PARTS, CHEWED UP WORM, ETC. WE ARE HERE TO ATTEMPT TO HELP YOU FIND IT! IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO SEE AND TOUCH THE VEHICLE FROM WHERE WE ARE. ALL WE HAVE TO GO ON IS YOUR RESPONSES.
HAVING BEEN ON HERE SINCE 2009, WE DO SEE MANY FOLKS THAT CAN TALK THE TALK, WHEN GIVING THEM TEST INSTRUCTIONS TO ATTEMPT A DIAGNOSIS, THEY NEVER RETURN WITH AN ANSWER/ OR THEY CONTINUE TO ASK COULD IT BE THIS OR THAT. ALL WE CAN SAY IS "YES" OR "NO". THE WHOLE TIME NEVER PINNING DOWN WHICH ROUTE TO TRAVEL, FOR LACK OF "HIS" TEST RESULTS
PLEASE DO THE FINGER TEST FROM THE SPEEDO END, IT MAY SHED LIGHT ON WHICH END IS THE BANDIT.
