[QUOTE="Zorlac, post: 750964, member: 6478"] A – 2005 B – 43000 miles C – Replaced the CCT myself 5/31/10 with the new auto CCT. D – No noise now. E – No F – Thankfully no. H – $88 out of pocket. I – 1st time J – An ever so slight noise after a trip at idle & being spooked by tales of grenading engines (during the EOM) by another FJR rider on my trip. Mine was probably OK, but the risk scared me! :unsure: K - The new design seems to to have significantly more tension than the 5yr old one I took out, although I may consider the manual CCT if this new OEM CCT fags out down the road. By this crude method (measuring the amount the CCT compresses the test spring) I'm wagging about an 8.3% increase in tension (near the max extension) on the new part vs my old one that was still working. [IMG]https://i46.tinypic.com/17tmpg.jpg[/IMG] For you guys that thought changing the CCT was difficult, all I can think is that you probably haven't worked on cars much B) cause I was seated in a lawn chair for part of this exercise, no contest with the level of difficulty compared to accessing some car parts IMO. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
