Trustmaster T500 RS Throttle Peddle Stuttering...

[TheLittleHooligan]

Hi all, anybody out there have a solution for the "Peddle Stutter' problem. I do hope I'm not the only one that's experienced this rather expletive inducing technical problem.. I was busy doing the Porsche challenge around Monza Classic the other day and couldn't understand why the other cars where wizzing past me... in easy mode... With my foot flat, going around the circuit I could hear what I first thought to be fast approaching AI... they where... yet after being past, i continued to hear the engine stuttering... so naturally... I thought I'd broken the engine somehow... and resigned myself to a last place finish... However, with my next attempt I discovered the problem... a fault with the throttle pedal stuttering... seems something is amiss with the sensor, does anybody have a fix for this... ie: a mod, electronic workaround, cleaning of faulty part.. or new component purchase from RS, Mouser, Digikey, Jameco etc. PS.... the clutch is acting up as well... No wonder I keep getting penalised at the start for jumping.... Thanks All.

I had a similiar problem with the rather cheap throttle pot on my handcontrolled SRW-S1 wheel.
I took the pot out and literally bathed it in contact cleaner (not silicone spray).
The bath procedure was executed by spray drowning the pot in a small bowl (or inside a tiny plastic bag?).

How old is the wheel, contact Thrustmaster, if it's a known issue they may just post the part out to you. Sounds like a faulty part.
