I've heard so many "explanations" about cylinder liners, intermediate shafts, what causes the problem, and their "effective" dates. I call B.S.

I've seen and heard about way too many intermediate shaft failures from 97 - 2003. This is NOT limited to 02 and up.

What pisses me off about all of this is that I found a really nice '03 S and the only thing keeping me from it is the thought of another engine failure - this time out of warranty.
