Billman's TCT
3 Attachment(s)
Installed Billman's TCT. Very good instructions. Easy to install. Quieted idle noise.
Removed two bolts holding down air box on the passenger side. Moving the box to the front gives you enough room to remove access plug & pull pin with straight needle nose plier. Attachment 85916 Allen head socket on access plug. Attachment 85917 Pin needed to be pulled to activate the TCT, seen just inside open access hole. Stamp on new TCT is visible. Attachment 85918 |
Good photos of what's probably the most "difficult" part of the install. I installed mine months ago & have had no issues. Great product!

I know TCT can go bad as early as 20k miles, but is everyone just replacing them as a proactive change out or are you all waiting for the slightest ticking and then changing?

After I read all the great comments about this product on this site --- I decided to change it, even though I felt the chain noise wasn't that bad. Definitely made a difference, idle noise-wise.
Really, fairly simple fix. The biggest issue was dropping the stubby screwdriver into the engine bay. Had to jack car up and rattle a few things, to get the thing back. :LOL: |
Thanks for the pics, I haven't changed mine yet, it looks fairly easy though!

One of the best deals going is to get the Billman TCT at the Dragon events. Bill will install the new unit and take your old one and you will get a great price :thumbup:

It's pretty well known that the OEM TCT will fail eventually, for most of our cars.
The TCT install is one of the easiest things to install on the car. It takes maybe 15 minutes if you're being extremely cautious (like myself). I replaced mine with one of Billman's GenX even though mine wasn't making any noise. I just wanted piece of mind since my car had about 85k on it at the time. 5k miles later and zero problems (of course). Changing the oil is more a pain in the butt that installing a TCT, in my opinion. By far, actually. |
