How to: Fix broken T3PA Pro Pedals

[JamesU]

Hi all,

I wasn't planning on making this thread otherwise I would've taken many more photos.

Problem:
My clutch pedal was only registering 1/4 input when it was fully pressed down.

Fix:
Upon taking the pedals apart, I found that the issue was this little black cog not lining up properly - which had caused it to completely strip

After replacing it and getting the same issue immediately i found that the little potentiometer (think that's the name for it?) was bent.

Luckily I still had my old pedals so I was able to use a cog/gear from those and also de-solder the 3 wires that make this thing work and re-solder them.

All in all it wasn't a difficult task, the majority of the time it's just removing so many screws!


Hope this helps anyone that has a similar issue in the future!

Made an account just to reply here. I'm having the same issue with my T3PA Pro's, I think.

The throttle is only registering up untill 90% but won't go full throttle anymore. I'm running them in GT style so your clutch pedal should be the same as my throttle pedal I guess?

I took it apart and the potentiometer's axle is slightly 'bent', the little black gear is fine though.

It's probably stating the obvious, but have you tried recalibrating them in the TM control panel?
