[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1141781, member: 176704"] [USER=414470]@Red alert[/USER] Ref your question as to what I meant by point No 2, I was referring to an internal adjustment within the motor whereby some form of clamping device applies pressure to the gearing in the gearbox to push that more closely onto the output shaft on which the dish is mounted. The aim is to reduce any slackness between the internal gearing and the output shaft to reduce any backlash in the shaft movement and prevent the dish overshooting when driving to a new sat - too loose and it overshoots, too tight and the motor can't move the dish at all! I don't how it's done in your TM motor, but in the Dark Motors there is a hole in the outer casing through which you push a 6mm hex key into the end of a hex headed bolt which you tighten/loosen to adjust that backlash effect.
