Just an opinion about the Thrustmaster T2 wheel

Good to know, but I still have the T1, and I just had more first problem with it. My pedals weren't responding. I took off the cover to the pedals, and saw a loose dangling wire, then I found a nice spot with lots of solder and no wire. I may not be an electrical genius, but I got the baby working again. I don't know what my point is, maybe it's that they are built strong and simple, so if you do have problems you can fix it yourself.

What all is included in the "tune-up kit"? Please post a reponse.

I received a new one and have no idea how to remove the old POT.
