Thread: One for the Gurus

There’s a long thread on the pot issue on full fat RR - haven’t checked in for sometime there, but there may be something on this there.

Some say graphite and some say carbon?

I think the more pertinent question is what resistance they are using - or resistance per CM to be more precise. I’m sure the values for the pot will be listed somewhere.

I have removed the trans case shift motor and removed the encoder/potentiometer.
Question, how do I open the 2 halves to see if mine has worn holes in the coating?
I'm a bit gun shy as usually I end up breaking things with too much force or not knowing the mechanics of it.
Cheers

This any help ? Not quite sure how far you have stripped it .

Thanks Laurie,
That shows me how to test it but I would also like to look inside it to check for holes in the coating.
Do you have the pins diagram as explained in the video so I can do this test?
Cheers

I don't have a copy of the pins, but this link may be helpful, consensus is the interior is graphite.

The saga continues.
Followed the video, power to the motor, works great. Connect
Multimeter and no reading, reconnect motor to battery with multimeter connected (be easier if I was an octopus ) cycling motor and no reading on multimeter.
Me thinks something broken, maybe encoder.
