How much do the upgraded gears typically run? Got the same problem. Gonna try to pull the controls out of a Lancer in a junk yard in a couple days, so that'll save me money. Thank God I don't need my heater yet (I live in Texas).

the upgrade gears can be found on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-GENUINE-MITSUBISHI-LANCER-HEATER-AIR-CONDITIONER-CONTROLLER-KIT-7801A110-/390522312014?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5aecf1954e&vxp=mtr) for $17.50 shipped. and i was able to find a new HVAC unit just by being patient for under $200

You can buy a high quality replacement shaft like this here:

If you don't want to take your control apart multiple times I urge you to steer clear of the cast, hardened core junk being peddled lately. Insist on injection molded shaft.
