Thats not the half of it. They replaced mine under warranty some time ago on my 2005 but they replaced the enclosed drive line which runs from the motor and includes a bell housing at the end where it attaches to the transmission at the rear. The dealer showed me the entire new assembly prior to installing, maybe about 7' long. They replaced the entire assembly because there was a redesign.LOL

Got her back , running like a champ . They installed my SLP exhaust free of charge since the exhaust was already off . Big help for me, saving the weekend for cruising.
