Art,

Yes, I am referring to the carrier gear. Though the main assembly is plastic, the gear it self is vinyl I believe and has gotten soft.

When I pressed on it under the scope I could see that it was not only soft but mushy. The gear also had some sort of wax on it. Not sure where that came from.

So for now I'm going to replace it with one from my vast collection of clusters (2) and I've also ordered a replacement from FCP which should be here by the end of the week. Before I put the "new" used one in I'll check it out tomorrow to check it for cracks as well and if there is any substance on it I'll clean it with some rubbing alcohol before installing it tomorrow night.

As for the root root cause, unknown, but the car does have 328K + miles on it and well nothing lasts forever.

Thanks again for your help and for your knowledge that you have on cleanflametrap.com. It came in handy when debugging the circuit board.

Regards,

Matt
