Hi, my garage door wont go down when I press the control remote, so I do it manually, then I press the control and the “thing” goes down, then I go inside and hook it again, press the control and IT DOES GO UP….any suggestions?

matt asked:

they say it is 4 gear. However I know 100% it is 5 gear. I drove for 3 years, driving on major roads, in 5th gear and gear stick shows 5 gears. I even remember first getting it and having to get used to 5 gears as my old car had 4. I had a new gear box at least 1.5 years ago and continued to drive in 5th, as has my partner. However part of clutch was replaced in march and it has just had a new clutch kit on by new owner. Since then it has had 4 gears and sounds like it is being thrashed on major roads in 4th at 60/70mph.

Does anyone know if this could be caused by some kind of problem? Or have any suggestions on what to do - the garage insist they remember it having 4?

I am planning a garage sale to benefit a charity and the only weekend that works, happens to be memorial weekend! Will people still come? I know many are out of town but I wonder if the regular “garage salers” will still be out and about seeking garage sales. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!!

Our torsion spring on our garage door broke last night. I called Precision Door Services today and they came out and suggested I replace the other hardware as well. I think they are right in this as the hardware is really old and i could see where the bearings were worn. So anyway, I want to know if I got taken. The whole kit cost $599 and it replaced both torsion springs which are rated for 30,000 cycles and the door is about 400 pounds. They also replaced the following:

BK-EBF - Bearing kit with end bearing flange 2 end bearings and center bearing
Set of 12′ Torsion Cable Drums
Pair of 7′ Torsion Cables
10 Precision Rollers

It doesn’t seem like a whole lot of stuff since they quoted $250 for the springs alone and $350 for the rest of this stuff. I can see the cost of the springs being that much, but the rest seems questionable. I postdated the check because I was a little suspicious.
Oh sorry…my vehicle was locked in the garage and it’s after hours so I had to get it fixed tonight. This is why I didnt do my customary research properly before I had the work done.

The work and hardware is all lifetime guaranteed…but it’s just when I search for the individual parts online (not the exact ones but seemingly similar)…they all seem like they’re less than $20 each besides the springs.
