Got my automated reply from Thrustmaster stating that my parts request was
being processed on July 2. It is now July 21 and I have nothing.
Gas pedal spring broken after 6 months of very gentle use.... Don't make
the mistake I did and wait for an actual breakage to occur...get replacement
parts ahead of time. Now that I have seen the innards of the unit, the
brake spring looks quite sturdy, whereas the gas pedal spring looks quite
flimsy (not just because mine had snapped).
P.S. Thrustmaster had better be sending me a complete parts kit and not just
a single spring after all this time or I will be a very unhappy camper...and
will be letting them know about it.
Marc.

Me too! You're one day ahead of me - July 3rd:(
In the meantime I'm using a big fat *** band on my gas pedal and it works
fine.
Wouldn't recommend entering 24 hrs of LeMans with this setup:-)

My spring kit arrived Sat 7/25. Haven't taken unit
apart yet as the *** band I'm using works pretty good, but the gas pedal
spring looks heavier than the orig. Sheesh! how hard is it to make a spring that
doesn't break in the first place. 15 working days to get a free part isn't too
bad I guess.
Another thing to try if fax them if u have that capability, I just resent having
to spend $ on phone calls and waiting on hold forever.
Good luck.
Joe.
