I have a year old Guillemot Ferrari force feedback wheel
The only problem I have ever had with this wheel is that
It has been getting harder to turn (off center position).
I finally opened it up and found that the belt is comming apart.
It has a piece out of it that is 3 inches long and letting the belt
bunch up around the pulleys.
where can I find a Pioneer Rubber belt 175 MXL
and how do I change it ?
I have connect Guillemot/ Thrustmaster and they do not reply to my
email.
Thanks

phone them. they actually answer the phone quite quickly. Response time
after talking to them ain't the hottest in my experience however. You gotta
keep calling back and bug them.

the same length at a good audio store, because my dad just found one for his
old pioneer record player. Just an idea in case they don't answer the phone
for you!

They said I can return the wheel to men and they would exchange it
even through it is pas the 1 year warranty.

Sent me a brand new wheel in one day
and I have 15 days to return the old one.
they sent me a NASCAR Pro FF
because the Ferrari force feedback wheels
was out of stock.
Thanks

Don,
Kind of curious as to how your new wheel compares to the old one. Rumor
has it the Ferrari has gone to gear drive (Don't know if that's good or
bad?)
