T300 RS dead zone issue (steering) PLEASE READ :)

[Inconspicuous]

Hello all,

So, after having purchased a T300 RS from Amazon around the beginning of January of this year, I have to say that for the first five or so weeks everything was working great. The wheel was smooth, quiet, and felt like an absolute world of difference in comparison to the DFGT that I was using throughout GT5 & GT6.

About a week and a half ago though, problems started to arise. Both the brake & gas pedal now squeak like bicycle horns (lmfaooo, really though) when either pressed down on or upon release of pressure, the wheel itself creaks loudly every time it centers upon corner exit or when I simply waver from side to side, and now out of nowhere two nights ago a large “dead zone” has appeared anytime I’m driving in a straight line. This dead zone spans in between 40 & 60 on the axis according to the thrustmaster “wheel setup “ application that can be used when the wheel is plugged into my PC.

Needless to say, I’m really disappointed about this now and I have no idea what to do in order to fix this dead zone issue. It is completely impeding on my enjoyment of GT sport and I really want to get it figured out and hopefully fixed. Any suggestions as to what I should do about this???

Sorry for the long read, by the way.

The belt may have loosened,but that's just a guess.You can not be sure until you open it(you may lose the warranty).
If this is the case, here's how to fix it:



A short video might help us understand the problem better.

That's what warranty is for. Send it back and avoid having more issues. I sent back 2 G27s before receiving one that worked for years.

As far as the pedals, they are junk. My stock RS pedals squeaked from day 1 and the brake spring kept popping out of place. The T3PA pedals are better but still mostly plastic and also tend to squeak. That sort of thing bothers me too so I sold the T3PA set and went with the Pro Pedals. Highly recommend going straight to the Pro set.

Since its an issue with both the wheel and pedals, definitely warranty it.
