You have a very rare issue that not many have dealt with so naturally there is very little anybody can do to help. We can offer morel support if that does you any good. That sucks but that is all we can do.

The dealerships can not make repairs with $90 EBay motors. They have a huge liability issue if something went wrong after doing such work. Their manuals call for a full replacement and that is what they have to do. If the $90 motor may work then you will either have to do it yourself and take the gamble or find some shady shop that will not take responsibility and get them to do it.
