OK, finally got around to doing this to the ol' Contour. What a massive difference it makes going from non-working IMRC to working IMRC.
Instead of replacing your IMRC, either fix it this way, or the first 8 people to send me their board with motor can have me fix it for $35 shipped back to you. I have 8 of these transistors left, so first come first serve!
Feel free to put this in the FAQ or sticky.
IMRC Fix, How-To
And for the people that might say "But I can get one of these from a junkyard for that", you're still getting the factory IMRC transistor that fails. The TIP121 has MUCH better heat tolerances.
Yet one more example of why this is such a GREAT site!! I'll print this out tomorrow at work and file it with my other Contour stuff. Thanks for a great how to and the pix to make it idiot proof.

Excellent how-to! Here's a link to order the transistor but be warned there is a minimum order charge. Digi-key Also, make sure to use thermal compound (that white greasy stuff in the pic) or you could have another fried transistor in short order.

There is a thermal pad between the transistor and the housing. I chose not to put that plastic screw back on since the heat from the housing will just heat up the transistor.

IMRC fix for those with heat related issues.  Unfortunately i don't think this will solve my broken cable IMRC issue.

I have a broken IMRC cable too, and sadly I think you have to buy a new IMRC box. At least that is what I was told.

Didn't you post this like 40+ years ago?
I could have sworn I've seen this before when Kev and I both had the Duratec 2.5's
Awesome How-to by the way. another Hightower Mod to help the masses.....
