So my heater control shaft broke the other day trying to crank the knob to heat...snapped right off...bummer...blindly tossed it to the back seat and kept on driving.

**JUST to clarify...part of the white shaft part broke off and is still inside the heater control knob.....so there's no pushing the knob back on.

I was told I would need to replace the entire assembly for about 80-130 bucks if purchased used on here or somewhere else....

I was perusing through the thousands of ebay items for our evos and found this.... is this compatible for our evos or lancers only?

Not sure if it will work or not.... but thought I would share it in case it does work...

Any input from you Lancer and Evo guys would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

The lancer and the Evo will be the same. Wish I knew this part was available years ago. I have replaced a few climate control units over the past few years due to just 1 broken plastic shaft. Just make sure you replace the arms on the heater box to fix the problem.

 

Thats good to know...I just visited the HVAC MEGA thread concerning this issue and posted my question and the link there as well.

I read about replacing the arms..is that listed or linked in the HVAC Mega thread? Do you know where I could find them?

Thanks for your reply boosted91t..
