Busted Spring on Thrustmaster T1

ARG!!!! I just got my track pack today and was practicing at C***te to get in the mood for this weekend's race. Comming outta turn 4 I heard a loud BANG! and now the accelerator is stuck wide open. It appears that the spring under the accelerator pedal finally gave up. Could some kind soul please post Thrustmaster's phone number? I have read numerous posts about how helpful they are at fixing busted T1s. Many Thanks, Scott Carpenter Lan Admin MWR Support Activity USMC Quantico, VA.

I just remapped the methanol pedal to the left pedal and put the brakes on the top button of my console. Of course you're not likely to do very well with this configuration on a road course, but I ran a pretty good race at Milwaukee this way, and I rather imagine that you could do it for NASCAR too. -- Brian Wong Product Marketing Engineering

This is obviously a common problem, and I know the solution appears to be the inch thick block of wood under the pedals, but is there likely to be a new design produced? Stuart.

Stuart, A new design has already been here for a few months now, however, there are still a few older units out there. Matt ThrustMaster, Inc.

Matt, Thanks, as you already know I have sent you the e-mail. I just wanted to let everyone know how fast and efficient you were at getting the part to me (which arrived today). Installation was pretty easy.. and I'm back to racing with both feet... Scott
