Broken TS300 Pedal. Any advice appreciated.

[sgohsixthree]

Last night I felt and heard a crack under my stock T300RS gas pedal. Bought it used, so out of warranty. Opened it up and one of the torsion springs had snapped off. I managed to find a similar type at a hardware store and install it, but now the gas pedal isn't registering at all.

With the enclosure opened, in pCars PS4 I went to the pedal calibration and got the brake and gas to show, with a range of movement. Once I reassembled the pedal board, no throttle input registers. I'm assuming it has to do with the pot switches and where the pedal links up to it?

Not sure how much I want to fuss with it anymore, so here are my questions...

1. Are the TS80/100/TX pedals the same as the T300 and interchangeable?
2. Are the pro pedals worth the $100 upgrade? (I don't have the shifter, nor a place to mount one)
3. Does anyone want to sell me their stock TS300 pedals?

I like to think I'm pretty handy, so open to ideas with fixing my pedal.

Appreciate any advice or tips.

When you disassembled the pedals to install the spring, you failed to get the gears lined up properly for the throttle while reassembling. Open the wheels up, and then be careful when reassembling. That should cure your problem -- I'm about 99.999% certain on this (either that, or you broke a wire when you had it open, which is a different matter altogether).

That's what I'm thinking. During reassembly that gear moves. Any tips on reassembly? Keeping pressure on the pedals to line up the holes on the backplate is probably where I'm going wrong.

Thank you.

I've never disassembled the T300/TX pedals, but mechanically I think they're the same as the F430 Force pedals -- it's just a very finicky, very "fiddley" reassembly procedure . . . you kind of need to get everything together right, double-check to make sure all the gears are aligned right, then slap it together and get the screws in without allowing anything to snap back open again (all the while trying to hold the base together against the tension of the pedal springs while screwing in the screws). Kind of a pain, but it's not all that hard, just has a lot of potential for frustration (as you've discovered).
