Review on Actuator Rebuild Lincoln Mercury 1990 2012 by Jorge Bryant

I just fitted this gear to one of the motor drives in the rear AC heater about 20 minutes ago. I swapped out the entire drive last weekend for almost $40 and when I checked it was working fine, but I found that the other top/bottom airflow drive was clicking and not working. When I bought my first drive I took it apart and found broken teeth on the gear it was replacing. But I didn't know and didn't think about simply replacing the gearbox. So after replacing the first actuator and almost ordering another broken actuator, I found I could just order this gear for about 1/3 the price of the whole actuator. It comes with something called silicone grease. Fits right, no problem. Of course, I can't say how long that will take, just that it's working now. The original lasted about 15 years and for the last few years I've just been too lazy to replace anything so I didn't even use the rear heater or air conditioning. Ford designed the original transmission without thinking. This gearbox failure seems to occur in many Ford drives of many models and years. I want to use swear words here to share my thoughts on Ford with you.
