The cable only worked for the last 15% of throttle application, the first 85% was fly by wire.

So I think it's a matter of what kind of silicone is in your goop rather than whether there's any at all. I hope some more knowledgable folks chime in here. As for the gummi pflege, it does work well, and while the tube may be $8, a little goes a long way. A tube should last a long time. I don't know what's in it, but I'll look on the label tonight. cheers, Scott Staewen _________________________________________________________________ Don�t just search. Find.

The hose that feeds the clutch master is high up on the reservoir housing. When the level drops, it is easy to get air in the clutch line. Some folks say it works best to reverse bleed the clutch hydraulics, whatever that means. I'm guessing that you'll want to use flare nut wrenches on the fittings, like the brake lines.

Are the hose clamps tight? If hoses and clamps are OK, then you're probably going to need a replacement radiator.
