Hi

Yes, thanks. I hadn't read that particular thread, but I had read others that were similar.

I looked for leaked clutch fluid inside the sensor but that was inconclusive. Anyway I cleaned the tracks a few times with brake cleaner, meths and finally warm water but none of those changed any resistance values.

I have opened the casing up, and soldered two thin wires to the terminals inside, enlarged a small hole in the casing, then brought the wires out through that.

Currently waiting for some resistors and potentiometers to arrive in the post so I can connect them to the wires and set the resistance to what I want, then refit to the car.

If it conclusively fixes the ETS light and hopefully improves performance, I will report back.

I wanted some used sensors to play with in case things go terribly wrong!

Steve
