and yesterday during an online league race the accelerator spring broke this
would be an easy item to fix if I could find a replacement spring but I have
already checked with local hardware and locksmith shops to no avail. One of
the reasons I chose the Thrustmaster was because of their good reputation in
online news groups for being willing to replace broken spring potentiometers
e.t.c. but when I called their tech support today I was told that they will
not be doing this with their new products and that I would have to send the
entire unit back and wait 4 to 6 weeks for a new one effectively putting me
out of contention in both of the leagues I run in ( not that my driving
ineptness doesn't already ) If you have been considering buying this wheel
based on the companies past reputation for service, be warned, they are
resting on their laurels. If any one knows another source for a replacement
spring please let me know. It is the spring which controls the angle of the
accelerator pedal.
Thank you for letting me vent
