I'm going to do a redesign of my sim rig and pulled the clutch out of my G27 pedals to use while drawing the new rig. I taped the ends of the wires from the clutch so they won't touch, but now GT5 thinks I have my foot on the clutch all the time (i.e. permanent neutral). All I want is that the G27 outputs that the clutch is at neutral.
I measured the pot resistance on the pedal: at neutral the resistance is ~0.5k Ohms and at fully compressed is ~9k Ohms.
Can I simply put a 0.5k Ohm resistor between the red and green wires? Or do I also have to put a 10k Ohm across the red and black too?
The pedal will go back into the new rig, but I don't need it for now.
I don't think that there's a need for a resistor, you could just short the middle wire with the ground wire. Since all pots work on the same principle, it should work.
A couple of weeks a go, I had the problem of the car shifting into neutral occasionally. Then I took the G27 to a friend's house and we had the problem repeatedly throughout the day... Each time we had to fiddle with the wires to get it to go back into gear again. I feared I had damaged my G27
When I got home, I dug through my bass stuff and found a scratchy tone pot I had removed from a Fender I had previously owned. With a multi-meter, I set the pot to 0.5k Ohms. The G27 wires plug straight on and Voila! Everything works fine now Over 1 week of hard use (the Nurburgring TT this week!) and not 1 missed shift.
CONCLUSION: Do not short the wires, you will need a pot (or equivalent resistances) in the wiring to avoid any long term issues.
