Probably the lawyers wanted to avoid tranny reliability issue during the warrantee period. The device works to engage the clutch smooth, less jerk on...

It only delays the clutch engagement and not disengagement, so to help people not stall the engine (or the SMG in this case). Am I right?

So far all I have heard the weak link is the solder joints. The head temperature is close to 90C to 100C and went through many heat cycles, leading to...

This sounds more like having cracked solder joints on the pcb than the solenoid coil wiring. What did you do to cause the intermittent open circuit (just...

If all solenoids pin to GND pin were measured within 7.5 Ohms, then there is no reason to blame the solenoid module.
Instead of spending $1k on...

It says advance value; does this mean too advance or not enough? If too advanced then solenoid must had activated to let pressurized oil moves the cam....

Remove the clip holding caliper to carrier (anti-rattle), then try to wiggle the caliper -- up/down and in/out -- and see how much free plays. If too...

Make sure the caliper mounting big bolts are not loose.

The GPS sensor and the clutch switch are connected in series, and so the DME doesn't know which one opens the circuit (GPS is open circuit when in Neutral,...

1. Using the old mark on the hub slots is not enough resolution, and so the error. When I did mine I use the drill bit as the pin that fitted in the cam...

Makes sense if the engine oil was drained due to the plastic check valve cut a slot on the OFH....

1. Wonder why you didn't detect this off-timing when doing the final check before close up the valve cover. Nothing should have moved since the vanos...

If you concerned about chain stretch, then remove the tensioner, remove the piston, remove the spring and replace the spring with a spacer such that when...

Maybe the TOB fork had moved too much -- worn clutch or worn PP fingers?
So this confirms that the noise indeed was the synchro gear grinding as...

Chain will continue to stretch as being used.
Chain stretch should not be an issue as long as the tensioner is not bottomed out. Chain stretch can...
