Hi there,

I have two pedal sets (Thrustmaster Nascar Pro) and want to make one with
three pedals out of it.

My question is: how do I have to add the third pedal (the wiring)? Will I be
able to use the cable that is shipped with the pedals?

Thanks in advance,

Mea***er

That will void your warranty.

Err, thanks for your concern, but that doesn't really answer my question.
BTW, why should I need a warranty? Thrustmaster have the best support I've
ever seen: tell them what broke, and you'll have a spare within two days.
They rule.

Probably not.  My guess is you'll have to add at least one wire form
the pedal set to the DB15 port connector.  Your third pedal will need
two wires for it to operate.  One will be a 5 volt reference wire to
the center terminal of your third pedal pot (the gas and brake pedal
will already have this wire, you can simply tap into it and create a
series circuit) and one wire from either the top or bottom terminal of
your third pedal pot to either PIN 11 or PIN 13 (whichever is not
already occupied by your existing pedals) of the DB15 port connector.
This is the extra wire a referenced earlier.   Hope this helps you
out.

Your welcome.

Here is a post from r.a.s. about 2 weeks ago:

I had the samequestion a while ago, and am planning to  implement a clutch
in my Nascar Pro.  Here is an anwer I recieved from this NG:

--------------------from bobo88

GPL will pick up all 4 pedals (2 joysticks x 2 Axis's)
On the Nascar Pro, the wiring from the joystick port
(Sound Card interface) does not have the wires for
all of the Axis's. So I obtained the connectors and
wired it myself.

Heres the connector pinout:
Pin  1: +5vdc                                            to the wheel
(Center Tap)
Pin  2: Joystick A  Button 1                    to the UP shifter
Pin  3: Joystick A  Axis  X                      to the wheel (Outer Pin)
Pin  4: Ground                                         Common for ALL
buttons
Pin  5: Ground                                         - not used -
Pin  6: Joystick A  Axis  Y                      to the GAS pedal (Center
Tap)
Pin  7: Joystick A  Button 2                    to the DOWN shifter
Pin  8: +5vdc                                           - not used -
Pin  9: +5vdc                                           to the BRAKE & GAS
pedal (Outer Pin) also CLUTCH (Center Tap)
Pin 10: Joystick B  Button 1                  to the LEFT button (On the
Wheel)
Pin 11: Joystick B  Axis X                     to the BRAKE pedal (Center
Tap)
Pin 12: (DO NOT USE) Midi                 - not used -
Pin 13: Joystick B  Axis Y                      to the CLUTCH pedal
Pin 14: Joystick B  Button 2                   to the RIGHT button (On the
Wheel)
Pin 15: (DO NOT USE) Midi                 - not used -
