This is interesting. But first lets make sure.

The intermediate shaft has a nut on the end. The nut is on a threaded shaft. if that nut has broken off then there is usually catastrophic engine damage and oil pours out of the engine. You then replace the engine.

The intermediate shaft also a a flange on the end. This flange is bolted to the rear of the engine with 3 bolts. Those bolts are never a problem.

If it is the nut then I do not know. When you see a broken nut the engine is already toast. I would have to ask Peter Smith about this, as it is something new.

Does the dealer want to take the engine apart to replace the intermediate shaft?
