Trevor, it is the only route he has to take aside from replacing the gearbox AGAIN and sucking a huge loss from all of this. Let it be and allow him to try it. If it does not work as I expect, he it was worth it to try. If you want to help by getting him a new solenoid assym, great!! Otherwise I have to send him a used one.

I am not taking sides and I am not going to battle you to the bitter end about this

This situation is causing someone who has trouble understanding English, to engage in unnecessary work and expense. Is this fair?

The N/C C solenoid now in the car, as I have proven is working as it should. However the VTD TCU still fitted, is delivering an incorrect signal in respect of clutch pressure, which is an obvious and anticipated situation. The requirements are different for the current centre clutch, as compared to a clutch in parallel with a LSD, which the VTD TCU is programmed to control.

I am now advised by an acknowledged expert that the correct TCU for the US transmission now fitted, must be used. Surely it is obvious that the VTD TCU can not be compatible. However, fitting a US TCU to a Euro car is not without problems. It has been done before, but there are some wiring changes required.

Therefore, as I have stated from the outset, the existing C solenoid should NOT be changed and the TCU should be changed for a us type TCU. This is a worthy experiment, if not a fix, and is worth the time and money involved.

These are probably last words in this thread, provided that Alex is not talked into unnecessary work and expense, in which case my second banning could be on the cards.
