TCT replacing - urgent?
Hey all,
Well after a good dose of research it appears my TCT needs replacing. Took it to Kwik Fit today as it sounded like a loose bolt under the engine (like an exhaust heatshield bolt or something) but the found out the metal sounding rattle is coming from the top of the engine above the oil filter
Is it urgent to be replaced? From what I can see it sounds like its pretty easy to do it yourself? even for a beginner DIY/Mechannic?
Just wondering whether I should just get it booked in to Honda tomorrow or will it be ok for a few weeks/months?

Mine's been doing it since July, must get round to it at some point...
Well mine has been doing it since i bought the car about 4months ago
so who knows how long it has been doing it before that.Rattle is very noticeable when idling but only does it when engine is warm and actually if i think about it only about 40% of the time when its warm. Not sure if that gives any indication of how bad it is?

Don't know I'm afraid.
Do contact Garage-R via the traders forum for an excellent price for a replacement part. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=730890

One way of looking at it.
If the TCT fails. Gives up on life..
You will be needing a complete new engine . Choices hmmm

as mentioned it's pretty much a no brainer. £110 for a TCT or £2000+ for an engine hmmm. Absolute piece of piss to fit only tricky bit is pulling the pin out and it's not really that tricky just don't drop it!
all this talk about dropping the dreaded pin though
heard u can tie a bit of string to the pin so u dont loose it
