They should still send you an instruction page. I would ask them again. BTW, it is kind of hairy replacing the spring in a T2. I would imagine the Pro pedals are no better. Just curious though, are the Pro springs 3 coils or 4? The origional T2 springs are 3 coils and are fairly stiff. I broke my gas pedal spring and they sent "re-engineered" springs which were lighter and 4 coils. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

3 coils, and I asked on the phone and by email on how to put them in, no instructions even on the pink sheet that says what you ordered it says please include instructions, but they did not send any...please help, thanks!!! Nate

Its no big deal putting the springs in, all you need is a phillips screwdriver. There are two screws on each pedal that holds the top of the pedals on the arms. Remove those and take the wide part of the pedals off so you can remove the base. Flip the pedal base upside down on your lap, and take out all the screws that you see. now you can remove the base from the top of the unit. You will see that there is a***that runs horizontal into each side of each pedal. Inside these you will see what remains of your springs. Just take the screws off and put the new springs in. Thin coil springs go on the accelerator, thicker coils go on the brake. Long end down. reassemble in reverse order.

The BEST FIX! ! ! ! ! Spend a few more dollars and buy a TSW2 from THOMAS ENTERPRISES then sell the TM Pro that will fix your spring problem for good.

You must try not to move the pot too much (the gear wheel thingy). If you move it too much, your calibration will be screwed by either going too high or too low. Maybe mark the position with tape before removing the old spring. My controller is a T2 (after 2 years, still goin :), but the pots should be similar.

actually, the new nascar pro pedals don't need the pot removed. It is made so you don't have to remove the pedal or anything to change the springs. you just pop the cap off and slide the new springs in. It is very easy and hard to***up.
