So guys, I've been fiddling with the trem since I got it but I'm having some problems.
I've been following the tips found here: http://www.webrocker.de/jaguar/cms/2007 ... lo-system/

The thing is that even when the trem-adjustment screw is tighten I can still engage the lock. After a couple of tries I came to the point when the tremolo arm was really heavy and when depressing it I didn't have tremolo effect at all. Is this because the spring was too tight?

Anyway I started losening the screw until I found the arm was acting like I remember, basically pretty sensitive just when you touch it. But at this point I was getting lot of buzz from the strings, some kind of rattle. So I started to tight the screw until the rattle was gone. Now there's no rattling, but when I press the tremolo arm I hear some kind of metallic noise, I can't describe.

What am I doing wrong?
