Momo shifter paddle problem

Hi guys; Just bought a Momo wheel and it works great - except for a minor annoyance. The right shifter paddle doesn't seem to "click" back into it's proper place after a shift up - I've got to push it forward to be able to get the next gear. Anyone else have this problem and offer me a walkthru as to how to fix? Else - should I box it back up and take it back? Regards, Willard VanderPloeg

I'd take it back. If it is brand new it should be perfect. You shouldn't have to fix problems yourself on expensive hardware purchases. Phil Lee --- Racesim Central Administrator http://www.racesimcentral.com

Hi, Can anyone point me to an online site selling the Momo? Thanks, Gene Willard VanderPloeg <vanderploeg(remove)@sympatico.ca> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Hi guys; > > Just bought a Momo wheel and it works great - except for a minorannoyance.

In the US I bought mine here a few months ago: http://www.emscomputing.com/cgi-bin/ems.storefront/3cb65e24003770a22742d8b0e 20e06ac/Offer/AddProduct/442833/ Selling for $143+$12 shipping. Ordered it via ground shipping and received it overnight (nice surprise, the warehouse was in the next state). -- Joe Marques "Gene Bonin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a95dhd$hnh$[email hidden]... > Hi, > > Can anyone point me to an online site selling the Momo? > > Thanks, > > Gene > > Willard VanderPloeg <vanderploeg(remove)@sympatico.ca> wrote in message > news:[email hidden]... > > Hi guys; > > > > Just bought a Momo wheel and it works great - except for a minor > annoyance. > > > > The right shifter paddle doesn't seem to "click" back into it's proper > > place after a shift up - I've got to push it forward to be able to get the > > next gear. > > > > Anyone else have this problem and offer me a walkthru as to how to fix? > > > > Else - should I box it back up and take it back? > > > > Regards, > > > > Willard VanderPloeg > > >

Now I just have to relearn how to drive Nascar2002. Bill

Thanks Alvin; I'll keep this solution in mind - but I boxed it back up last night and will return it for a new one. A $300 cdn wheel should not have problems I have to fix with silicone. Regards, Willard. AlvinKlein <[email hidden]> wrote in news:[email hidden]:

Yes i tis. But it does seem to be easier to get good laps. Tried Texas for the first time yesterday, and was running around 30.3 laps after 15 laps. Have no idea if that is a good time or not, was just practicing. But have not raced that track much at all, so was pretty happy. And then wanted to break 30, so I pushed it a bit into 3 and was backwards. Bill
