Tue Jul 31, 2012 7:01 am

Hi, Here is something I found while I was looking for information on my differential issue. I felt it was "Basics very well explained" and I must share it.

Re gearing any vehicle is a very compleax job and requires great expertise....best done at qualified and reputed garages not on the cheap under a shade tree !

In this line you get what you pay for ...noting more but sometimes less !

Wasif, I completely agree with you that re gearing is very complex and very specialised. The garage I selected was definitely not a shade tree.. I actually found their contacts from here... and noticed their stickers on many of the Club Cars (Marshals as well). Frankly I am not upset about them going wrong.. Mistakes do happen and I can be the odd one - and I have absolutely no issues with that. My concern is that I feel that they are not acknowledging facts.. things like drive it for a while and see how it goes or after I specifically showed the Technician what the sound was they tell me there was no sound and the car was returned with absolutely no change in the noise.

Edit-- I think I shold have posted this on the other thread

It's a shame that it did go wrong for you, but like you said, these things happen, even when you take them to the stealership they can go wrong. Re-gearing is one of the most difficult jobs when working on a vehicle and should only be done by experts. I know the shop you are talking about, and whilst they are great for fitting suspension and other accessories I don't thik I would take it to them for a full re-gear.

I hope you get it sorted soon, and at no extra charge!
