I highly recommend everyone that sim races to have a can of electronic cleaner on hand like this one amzn.to/3nc0WDA . This helps clean off any gunk and grime that compressed air can not handle. I now apply a generous spritz on my potentiometers every time I open it up.
Bought a t300rsgt set with these pedals about 8 months ago and am running into the same exact problem! Your video is exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully it solves my problem!
I fix electronics for a living. The best thing to use to clean components is lighter fluid. It works amazingly well. It's also petroleum based, so it has minor lubricating ability.
Great video. Bought a 2nd hand T300GT RS setup and have the same issue with the pedals input fluctuating/not reaching 100% pressure on GT Sport PS4. Will give them a clean and hopefully will do the trick!
I've undone all the screws but something is still holding the back on in the middle. I can pull the top and bottom corners up the piece doesn't come off.
my brake pedal was fluctuating rapidly so i tried this but now the conical brake mod doesn’t work for some reason, no matter how hard i press it only registers about 35% pressure, is there anything i can do?
It sounds like the potentiometer has gone bad. I am starting to have a similar issue to my older set of TP3A pedals. I am cleaning my pedals almost twice a month now and just compressed air is not doing the trick. Check my pinned comment for a link for electronic contact cleaner. This is what I used the last couple of times. It loosens up a lot of gunk buildup that gets into the potentiometers. You can buy replacement potentiometers on eBay but it looks like a hassle to install properly. It looks like my next pedals will be magnetic hall sensors.
@@SidOfRivia I'm not 100% sure. Dirt will still get in the pedal base and will need periodic care. However the hall sensors will last a lot longer per many people more knowledgeable than me. This has to do with hall sensors having no moving parts to determine pedal pressure. It just works via distance a pedal travels between some magnetic sensors.
My problem is once I get to about 90% throttle my brake starts applying. By the time I get to 100% throttle I have about 10% brake. I just cleaned it about 3 hours of playing ago. It's doing it again.
@@qwikstreet 1-1/2 maybe 200 hours. I took them apart again and cleaned them. Wondering if the throttle pot is sending some feedback some who. I haven't tried them since I cleaned them Sunday.
Are we talking about the wire coonector? There is a plastic clip on the side of the protector and needs a good hard squeeze. At the 06:30 mark you can see the clips facing towards me. Just dont force the connector off.
That is odd. Did you make sure the connector is secured back into the control board? I take my pedals apart about once a month to clean out the dust and cat hair without issue.
I hope your clutch is working now. The white clip should only go back in one way. Its very similar to the connectors on a pc motherboard. there is a notch on the plastic connection that fits and snaps into place.
With squeking you will need to use just a small spritz of wd40 on the metal cylinder portion of the potentiometer. Since you have the pedals open I would use compressed air and contact cleaner inside the metal disc covering of the potentiometer. I know you said you have none of the sprays but its worth it and makes a huge difference to your pedals. I would say it costs under $20 for all the items if you go to the actual hardware store.
