since yesterday my Momo DFP makes a rattling noise like a loose gear
inside when I turn the wheel right. It still appears to work (FF and
all) and "whirrs" the normal way when I turn it left quickly, but it
rattles when I turn the wheel the other direction, both during slow and
quick rotation.
Has anyone seen / heard this before from a DFP, and is there something
that can be done about it?
Cheers, uwe

I already decided to upgrade to the G25, but if there are any hints at
fixing that rattle, I could kick out the cheap Thrustmaster wheel I bought
as a "stand in" until the G25 is available.

If I feel adventurous (sp?), I'll open my red Momo just to take a look.
But I guess, some special plastic part is broken. Replacements, prob. not.

Looks like my DFP knows about self-healing, too ;-) Everything works
fine again now, very weird. Purring normally again now left, right and
center, let's hope it holds up!

The G25 has all that, and more, it's just located on the shifter module
instead.
Since I always have a hand of the shifter it works ok for me.
