Fix IT! EP5 T-LCM Maintenance (Assemble & Disassemble) 

Same I broke 2 or 3 springs already haha, happy to help mate.

Happy to help brother, I made these videos cuz I never found ones and had to figure things on my own, when I jumped to sim drifting and racing.

Hey brother could you send this on discord and tag me in, as I am more active there, here is a lot of effort to have a conversation, I will see on the server and help you out!

Hey brother is that issue with T-LCMs or other pedals? I had this issue with logitech g29 pedals and it is bad connection, so I used WD40 and contact cleaner to spray there etc. You can potentially look if pedals are crazy dusty and circuit board is covered with crap or the cable is moved and last resort is warranty.

hey brother yea could you please navigate to discord and use the help channel, because youtube comments are annoying for long discussions

Hello, were you able to get your issue resolved?

Yes a guy reported also that, it could be dust or the stopper has worn out and when you press it doesn't block properly or some shit and messes the calculation of the sensor, but my advice is try to dust it off, then use some wd40 or contact cleaner on the sensor.

Hey mate, I just used small screwdriver honestly not sure about the size, you can see it's very small one and long, so it can get in these small holes to unscrew the screws. I have a very small pack of tools and I use stuff from there. I just grab whatever tools can work for the job.

Hey brother, I'd suggest to hop on our discord and send a short video of the problem. It could really be loose connection. It's good to be checked early, so you can get new ones, if needed!

I've just got my pedals out of the box and I'm having the same issue. Brake is fine for a couple of minutes and that the inputs start going crazy without me even touching the pedal. I move the black cable slightly, pedal works fine and then goes crazy again after a couple of mins. Did you manage to solve this problem?

@@wurble unfortunately not, I had to return them and get a replacement set that then worked fine straight out the box.

@@danielalmond3272 Thank you for the quick reply. I've spent the past hour fiddling around trying to get the brake to work but no luck. Same issue across different games too. Looks like I'll also have to get a replacement. How long did it take from reporting the problem to getting your replacement? Thanks again.

Hey brother, I had snapped at least 3 now, you can go to a local shop, if your sell springs, sadly in my country I can't even find one haha. I bought from Thrustmaster, but prices for some stupid springs is craaazy, I strongly suggest getting cheaper ones from somewhere else if possible and thrustmaster to be last resort.

@exoticdriftnrace yea but the problem is I don't know the measurements

@@saif.rawahi if you google up, there was a thread I think on reddit and a picture of the guy showing them don't worry.

@exoticdriftnrace for some reason I can't open reddit weird

@@saif.rawahi Hi, both spring length 70mm and outer diameter around 18/19mm. Throttle wire is 1,5mm and clutch 2mm thick. I bought different sets in different wires (1,6mm , 1,8mm ....) to try. And to get maximum life span from springs: grease them.

Hi, honestly I haven't paid much attention. I use the default spring and the brake is stiff enough with them. If you think there is some misplacement you can open the pedals and align them properly. I think that feeling of grinding comes with the super stiff springs. I felt like, it was so unnecessary heavy and went back to normal springs. What springs do you use?

@@exoticmotorsportofficial im using the default aswell, like 6 months now

@@freedomdst I hope the plastic or something else is not giving up, because it should not grind. But honestly you can try grease, if you think it will help. But I can't advise on that, since I never tried it 😐. I agree for the lateral forces, it's logical analyz. At this point, if you really feel hopeless to get rid of grinding or some annoying sound. Research on internet, before doing something and if you find something you can try. I personally haven't had this problem. BUT as you see I drive with socks, because EMI issues o.o I quit driving with shoes cuz it was building tons of static electricity and my pedal started to stuck at random %

@@exoticmotorsportofficial fixed it, i had left over silicon grease from a shifter mod, there is a plastic piece inside the part on top of the springs, lubricated its inside and the metal rod a bit. Also the springs have an angle i guess to follow the compression arc while pressing down, maybe those where not set correctly when i took it apart last time.

@@freedomdst Yea exactly, always double check. I was sure it couldn't be a big deal problem, unless you blasted the pedal or pedal springs somehow 🤣. Happy to hear it's solved. One stone off the shoulder less for ya cheers!

My clutch makes noise too from time to time and I feared that the clutch spring has bend and prolly out of resistance. But it works fine now. I've seen that the spring sometimes move themselves a bit weirdly so you can position the spring, as you want. Test a bit etc. 🙂

You are always welcome to our peaceful and friendly discord 🙂❤️

@@exoticmotorsportofficial In this video, around minute 34, you can see how he removes the pin, inside the arms of the pedals are the friction bushings (they are made of a ceramic or plastic compound, I think. Be careful not to damage them). Link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-StPXcYVPKwo.html I don't have silicone grease but I do have Teflon or even fork grease (MTB) which is quite soft. I'll try this and see the result.

@@exoticmotorsportofficial Thanks you!!

oh yea nice, I never went into full full disassembly, as so far just very basic maintenance has done great things for me. But I might do it, if weird noises occur!

yessir
