I bought the i6 gears from ukar after deciding the $100 gamble/bank was worth it, even with the FCP price down to 650 per actuator. Following the steps here, getting the actuators out was no problem. My bank 2 actuator showed 1 mosfet that looks like it may be on its way out, so time will tell if i caught it in time. The original gears were definitely showing their age... After reading this thread, I'm very suprised they were original.
Did you enquire with the dealer about goodwill warranty? Both mine were covered out of warranty since this is a known issue.
