Hey guys I installed the JB3 last night. I manage to brake the little clips (the things you move with the screwdriver to put the sliders in). I didnt realize that i just had to move them a little bit butthey broke. I managed to just use tape and it works fine. Im worried that the sliders might come off while im driving, and that the dealer would realize that they broke. Is there something I can do?

You talking about the big DME connector sliders?

If so you just need to find the P/N and get a new one ordered. Definitely before
any dealer trips with duct tape lol.

Thing at 3:02...The little tab you push on to take out the sliders
Im kind of worried

It shouldn't come out..it's held in by 20 pins. But it would definitley be noticeable by Johnny Dealer

Once seated correctly the slider will not come out. It's not uncommon as i have had a few customers come in with that same issue when they did the install themselves and once seated on the ecu there were never any issues. Without the little clip it makes it a little harder to seat on the ecu sometimes.

i wont come off man, dont worry. my buddy's clips are all broken, once it seats in the DME you will be fine.

so I can take the tape off? would dealer notice that the tabs are broken? thanks guys..lifted up my spirits! And I LOVE the jb3...So FAST

[mkiv]

dont need tape man...
if the dealer notice the tabs are bad, just play stupid and blame them. so you may also get new connecter lol.

Thanks, would it be hard replacing it? Connectors(you mean the things the slides go into)?

nope, not at all. I wanted the peace of mind so I ordered them up and replaced myself. They are cheap too, $6 bucks for the larger and $2 for the smaller, I think the shipping was more expensive...
