Hi Earl If two specialists founded no problems at your Instrument, you have to test the rest. How have you routed the cable? Are there sharp bents? If the routing is okay, you may have a problem in the reduction gearbox. The louder noises with the new cable can come, if the "drive-nipple" runs not centered. Can you test a reduction gearbox of a other T-Owner? Greetings lozi (TC3762)

Hi Badger! Thanks for the good hint. You must know, I m electrican. So I know just high and low. In my car it means: always pedal to the metal or brake action. Nothing else between. That s maybe the failture. lozi (TC3762)
