After reading some posts where some people have successfully transplanted their momo pedal pots into TSW pedals, etc. I decided to give it a try. I just finished building a set of my own pedals (with the main goal being to increase the throttle and brake throw). Now, when I put the Momo pots into the pedals I made, only a very short range of pot rotation is seen, and there is a large dead area on both pedals. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the controller and I have run the clear calibration program with no success. I did not have this problem when I wired my old LWFF into my old T2 a couple of years ago. Does anyone know what to do? Do those who have transplanted their Momo pots into their TSW's have an increased throttle/brake throw?

If the MOMO treats it's pedals like the LWFF does, you need to adjust the travel so that the wiper ranges from 1/3rd to full travel. I've written a page on this subject, you might find it helpfull, although I don't know whether it applies to the MOMO as well. http://users.pandora.be/jan..verschueren./LWFFmod/pedalmod.htm HTH, Jan. =---
I sent my TSW pedals back to TSW (along with the Momo wheel) and they did the job. I haven't checked "under the hood" but it would seem logical that if the Logi pots were getting only 1/3 rotation in the TSW pedals, then you'd want pots with a 3x higher resistance. That is, if the original pots were 100K, you'd want 300K pots to get the same change in resistance with that much less rotation. There are various controller utils that would allow you to trim the gross pot values to fit the desired range. Or I could be foo shee.
