That's ok.
Are you asking aquestion?
Some, yes.
Are you commenting on what youdid?
Sure.
Are you challenging what Balladedid? (like in the passt?
Yes, is that not allowed?
We have to just listen and takewhatever is given to us by the GODS of s2ki?
We're not to have an opinion, just send$ to buy what's popular?
Are you agreeing with whatBallade did?
Are you disagreeing with what Balladedid?
I would FIRST like to hear WHY they did this.
I alwys try to base my opinion onreasoning & fact.
Not popular hearsay.
Are you saying what you did wasbetter?
Are you saying what you did wasdifferent?
Better? IDK.
Different? Yes.
It worked for me, so if people want to try it themselfs they know what I did.
No charge.
I really don't understand whatyour point is?
Is that my problem?
Read it again.
Or if you have a point tomake?

Or just making comments?
Or if you are trying to make a point?
Or saying Ballade should say more?
Or what they are saying is incorrect?
Or correct?
Or...errr., I don't know.....
Yada... yada.. yada....

I did...I've read it about 5 times. You're unusual grammar, syntax and punctuation make it very difficult. And I always got A's in English (and math). The spelling is correct, but the phrasing is weird so it's really hard to understand the main point of your post. If any.

Yes! That's exactly what it sounds like when reading it. Sort of what my dog probably hears when I talk to him.

Is the proofreader position @ s2ki still open?
If so, I think davidc1 should apply.
He will get the position without a doubt, being an "A" English / math student.
The proofreader's capabilities will improve the readability of s2ki immensely.
I allready have lots of articles that I wish to post, but they obvioulsy need to be proofread to avoid confusion.
Proofreading will also reduce the huge amount of unnecessary reply's asking for explanations.

Spitfire is simply asking the questions to which he'd like an answer to, the results of such could be interesting and informative for the rest of us.

In addition, the fact that he's Dutch, meaning he's composing this in a language secondary to his own is no mean feat! Give the guy a break and let's keep this on topic

Looking forward to Ballade's technical response

Ok, fair enough. I wasn't really paying attention to the fact that English isn't his first language. You are correct. In fact, I was very happy that when I travelled around Europe, and got to the Netherlands, that almost everybody spoke English, and were happy to do it.

But, still not sure what he's asking now. Ballade posted the difference in his TCT. So, I think SpitfireS is asking what is the problem with the TCT causing noise in the first place. But, if that's thats the case, I'd say the search button is his friend, as it's been discussed countless times over the last 14 years. Or, did I get that wrong..is there another question?

Saki GT did a DIY on the TCT.. it is no different then pretty much any TCT.. simple clean it up.. all this thread makes it sound like brain surgery..

both Ballade and Billman made a significant improvement over the factory unit.. they are brain surgeons.. get over it.... if you want, rebuild your unit yourself ( as I have done many times in 200K miles)( about 3 times now) or, buy one of their units.. either one is a reported vast improvement over factory.. good luck..

Don't know about that, but it doesn't seem like it, because he's asking ( I think ), why Ballade thinks the TCT goes bad.
