T300 pedal issue

[adstomko]

Hi all,

The throttle pedal on my Thrustmaster T300 (standard set) has moved forward, so the car is always accelerating at a low speed.

Any tips to resolve this issue please?

Probably easiest is to buy some more pedals off ebay - cheap as chips as people upgrade their pedals to the Pro set

Is anything inside the pedals appear to be broken?

It could be a broken spring. That sometimes causes the pedal to sag a bit because it's now not strong enough to push it all the way back. Is it like in this video?

Had this issue before with my brother's pedal set, components inside are busted most likely (can't make any sure guess since nothing is taken apart).

Nothing is visibly broken, but maybe something underneath is.

That looks very similar. The position of the accelerator looks identical. So my pedal is now further forward than the brake pedal, and it's very flimsy.
I hope this is an easy fix. Any solution?

You need to take the pedals apart to find out what is wrong - there is nothing you can do to fix unless you do this

If the warranty is still valid, send it back,or you can ask here Thrustmaster to send you new spring(if this is the problem).

Take @super_gt's advice first off 👍. Best to just get new pedals from TM if it's still under warranty. If they aren't it's very easy to dismantle the pedals to check what the issue is. There's many youtube videos on these sort of problems and if you get stuck at all there's always this forum. Many of us here a willing to help.

99.9% sure it is not under warranty, otherwise that would be plan A.
Replaced the spring and even though it looks fixed, it doesn't even sense I'm pushing the throttle down now.

That could be a few things. When I fixed mine (I took the clutch springs out and used them) I had to turn everything of again (PS4 and Wheel) so when I restarted it could recalibrate properly, or the teeth on the cogs that mesh together are too far off from where they originally where, or the least likely thing is accidently pressing the Mode Button. Good luck

I tried pretty much everything, no success. So I've upgraded my pedals

It's ok, for now. I bought T3PAs. But I will consider that option in the future, thanks

I have a brand new set of those in a box. I have yet to use them.

How about claiming a warranty repair? 💡
