Dismantled my pedals to clean them after the brake pedal began playing up - some springs fell off when I took the case off and I didn't know where to replace them! Thanks to your video I was able to put them back together and now they are working perfectly! You do mention the importance of the black teeth fitting properly onto the white cog of the potentiometer - I didn't do it properly first time which resulted in maximum acceleration/braking before the pedals were fully depressed. Thanks again - very helpful video.
ALEX KIM wow! I managed to find my old DFGT wheel sitting in a basket because yeah, the pedals stopped working and the DP was stuck in the up direction, but the wheel still works and I’m wanting to fix it (and I think I fixed the DP problem just by using it some)
GF gave it a try in Dirt 2, yanked the thing right off the desk about 15 seconds later, right onto her lap. She was fine, but the wheel would not turn on afterwards, only after a PC restart.
Thank you for this. I know this thread is old but after watching whilst about to take apart my trusty DFGT I hit subscribe and then notice I think I am your 100th Subscriber! So I posted to say so. Congrats on the triple digits!!!
Great guide! Mine was quite a bit dirtier than this but I just used my mouth to blow all the crap out so it was a totally free fix, no more twitchy throttle! Thanks for uploading this.
I've had my DFGT for 8 years. Cracked the brake pedal and glued it back into place lasted for another 2 years now the brake spring has snapped and i think i finally need a new wheel and pedals now.
Update: Made it another 3 more years by using a bungee cord as a brake spring and a C-clamp to hold the wheel on since the clamp broke. Just upgraded to a G29, I'll miss the DFGT for sure!
Thanks a lot for this video, it really saved my butt! I couldn't resist opening the pedals of my wheel after the first day of usage, because I thought the spring of the brake pedal was out of place. (turned out it's just a weak spring) It wasn't the first pedalset, I've opened, but I had no idea that it would fall apart instantly and be so hard to put back together. However, the idea of clamping it to the table plus knowing how the pedals align with the pentiometer and how the springs align with the housing instantly made it an easy job! Turned out the brake pedal just is that weak. Guess I'll glue a spring to the pedal to get more resistance. Or does anyone know the pinout of the pedals? Then I could soughter a DB9 connector to the pedals of my old, broken Thrustmaster Ferrari F430. If I could use those pedals with the logitech wheel, that would be perfect!
great video. cleaned everything as per your video and now when I plug the pedals in to the console nothing happens. the connector maybe. Has been touchy as of late. Thx in advance.
thanks alot! but i have a diffrent problem it says i hit the brakes all the way on ets2 but i dont even hit it... :( can someone help me with this problem?
Thx, but, anyone who knows to fix this; When playing gt5/gt6 if im driving and i let the wheel go it wobbles If i stand still It wobbles Plz help (got it 2nd hand today) I dont want to be the hulk after an hour of racing... :/ getting tired of that...
Ohh man has been months that I've been dealing with brake pedal "pressing by itself" totally impossible to play GT Sport in my gimx arduino adapter for PS4 but now it's totally fixed thanks to you thank you so much God bless you!
Did it register pressing down most of the times, but not always? I often have to press it down fully to accelerate, and because of that, manual shifting is useless.
Thank you so much, I managed to find the problem with my gas pedal which is having some ghost input, when I checked it the spring was bent and I compared it to your spring, this video is so helpful!
Dude... It's now 2020 and you saved me when I didn't know how the springs went back in. (yes I still use these, you can't kill 'em!) Cheers and thanks!!
I can't find a video for the momo, so I'm using this lol. also cleaning the pedals. and hey, if it works why change? I bought the g923 and it was fucking garbage, sent it back and I'm still playing with the momo.
Thanks for the video, that really helped me to solve a problem with loosing 30% of gas throttle. Gears on pedal and and gears on potentiometers are shifted and i placed it back. You saved my money, i buy this wheel in used condition and i don't know about it trouble, but i fixed it by your noticed. Thanks a lot.
Mine are still playing up mate as well. I think the problem is the plastic flexing, activating the pedals. Just keep repeating the process. If all else fails give them a kick lol, worked with mine hehe
the spings are needed to be oiled a bit? i cleaned it and now its not fit for its position…cant stay in that place where its should be. should i put some oil on it?
Thanks for the tutorial. I got to this video because I just bought this steering wheel. My brake pedal feels a bit loose when I slightly push it, but it works perfectly fine. Do you have any suggestion about that?
It's only plastic m8. they are loose with not much resistance. I run a T300 now as im on ps4. I would maybe suggest a t150, g29 or the t300 to you instead. they do ps3 and 4. :-)
+marius994 You can modify it. Open it up and put something like hot glue to the places where the springs press onto the casing, so that they tighten up. Did mine this way and they feel perfect now!
I'm having erratic response with my pedals. When I play Gran Turismo (6, that is), It's like my pedal has its own traction control On. The pedal is applying gas on it's own in tiny rapid bits when I let go off it. It's weird, so I was wondering it could be the potentio-meters (?) that our gent here is talking about... However, it seems no amount of dusting can fix it...

How you do it pls tell me
This 2013 video saved my old DFGT (2018 - yes it still works)

2009 driving force gt still going strong now thanks to this. I give this wheel so much abuse and it still won't die haha

Years later, thanks, I had to repair a wheel and this helped a lot!
April 2023 and thanks to your video my gas pedal is working fine again, thanks!
Great guide! Mine was quite a bit dirtier than this but I just used my mouth to blow all the crap out so it was a totally free fix, no more twitchy throttle! Thanks for uploading this.
You're a legend mate, got my dfgt our after 2 years 🤣🤣
Thanks! :) Very helpful vid. I found a huge gob of fluff between the brake pedal and the housing that was preventing the pedal from fully retracting.
Retitle: how to CLEAN the DFGT. I watched this thinking it would show me how to strengthen the gas/brake peddles due to them being to lightweight
I've had my DFGT for 8 years. Cracked the brake pedal and glued it back into place lasted for another 2 years now the brake spring has snapped and i think i finally need a new wheel and pedals now.

@@z33tanner Is the G29 worlds better, including feedback? Or just somewhat?
Thank you!!!!!!!!!! just cleaned my pedals for like the 3rd times, working perfectly now

can I use this way to fixing my erratic pedal movements problem?
BRO YOU FIXED MY BRAKE REVERSING PROBLEM, THANK YOU!
great video. cleaned everything as per your video and now when I plug the pedals in to the console nothing happens. the connector maybe. Has been touchy as of late. Thx in advance.
Thank you a lot, man! You're the best :)
2022 and still helps
thank you man, better than a brazilian one LOL
my problem is the teeth are worn so bad it slips out of the potentiometers teeth, and I cant find any replacement cogs
help me bro my gas pedal is down and throttle doesn't work fully when lid is closed please help
David thanks for video. I have questions for u, how can i find this potentiometer ?
Thanks, I am going to try that.
Nice vid bud next tine try not to say potentiometer so much haha
great video thanks for posting
how i can fix the accelerator pedal that doesn't go over well? sorry for my bad english i'm italian
thank you very much!
Thanks bro :)
Mine throttle doesn't work at all and my brake is jammed on fully? Why could this be happening before and after a clean?
Is it being used on pc or console
Solid video!
tysm

Ticho Plays Same here
guys did you find a fix yet? cause i have the same problem

👌👍
Dzięki kolego. Dzięki tobie naprawiłem swój zestaw. Leci za to subskrypcja :-)

Thx, but, anyone who knows to fix this;
When playing gt5/gt6 if im driving and i let the wheel go it wobbles
If i stand still
It wobbles
Plz help (got it 2nd hand today)
I dont want to be the hulk after an hour of racing... :/ getting tired of that...
Big vase 🤣
Ohh man has been months that I've been dealing with brake pedal "pressing by itself" totally impossible to play GT Sport in my gimx arduino adapter for PS4 but now it's totally fixed thanks to you thank you so much God bless you!
awesome, it fixed my gas pedal which was "clicking" and not going 100% most times
Did it register pressing down most of the times, but not always?
I often have to press it down fully to accelerate, and because of that, manual shifting is useless.
tnx man you help me a lot i don't now how to put things back but now is workin beter than before
You are a livesaver
You're welcome
10 quids for 1 can compressed air :'D good job mate :'D
Was thinking the same, you can get air for free if you know where to look.
That's what happens when you slap the term 'gaming' on a product. Dumbasses will come out of the woodworks to pay way too much for it.
Right I thought the same thing, I'll just use my air compressor I got for free 😂
Dudeee big ups man I thought I had fucked up the entire pedal box till you mentioned that the spring goes in the pedal itself
Thank you so much, I managed to find the problem with my gas pedal which is having some ghost input, when I checked it the spring was bent and I compared it to your spring, this video is so helpful!
Dude... It's now 2020 and you saved me when I didn't know how the springs went back in. (yes I still use these, you can't kill 'em!) Cheers and thanks!!
And saving me now, 2021 04 11! Same problem, thanks!
@@massimilianosbaraglia3775 how did you do it? I try to rebuild it but when I apply pressure on the throttle or brake the screws just goes off
I can't find a video for the momo, so I'm using this lol. also cleaning the pedals. and hey, if it works why change? I bought the g923 and it was fucking garbage, sent it back and I'm still playing with the momo.

Thank you - made the job a piece of cake - no surprises. Lap times suddenly going down :)
Ps. If you'd like to check out www.vrroom.org . If your into racing you'll love this site
i just bought mine and it turns our the peddals were of and i wasnt getting full range lol
Thank god i found this video my pedals are dodging now and want to fix them.
2024 and giving good vibes to my nephew thanks to your amazing work and explanation. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Legend! just did it and solved my throttle, you gave me the confidence to open and not screw anything!
Can you please help me, how to fix my steering wheel pedals ? I dismantled them, but i cannot fix them back.
bloody impossible lol, i'm just gonna buy a new one
Fixed mine with a drill bungee strap and some cable ties :-)
I can't take off the screws from the back! They're too stiff. i don't know what to do.
very good
Thanks Mate! Great video! Helped me a lot fixing mine!

Nice video. Thank you for the tips!
holy sh!t my one is missing a part wtf logitech
TE QUIERO MUCHO LOCO GRACIAS
Thank you very helpful vid!
gracias my amigo !
brake and acceleration works automaticly. what can i do ? can you explain with simple english please

Have the same, but for me it's the brake pedal. Its braking on it's own, very gently flickering blacklights in f.e forza horizon 🤕
Still works in 2022, thanks man 👍
Wow, very well commentated, great video. Had no reason to come here but decided to stay and watch anyway.
Curbo 34 very kind. Thank you!
no worries
Great vid
Started playing up again, any ideas?
Yes m8. Unwind the potentiometers and seperate all the wires. This fixed mine permenatly!! Any problembs just ask ;-)
