Switch is on PS3. I boot the game and the Wheel will calibrate itself. Then nothing.
I restarted the system and the same thing happened....4th time though it worked....well....okay. XD Not quite sure what I did wrong initially but it is my first Thrustmaster product so I probably did something wrong on the initial setup which made it janke for a little bit. Never had the switch on PS4 mode though so I know that wasn't the problem. Anyways at least it works now.

Already out of guarantee?
No, not at all.. Was not trying to say that.. It's registered, and appears that it will be expedited..
However, it broke in less than three months of use.. Not unreasonable for me to mention I don't think.
I do think it is rather unacceptable really..Hopefully it will be replaced, just waiting..

agreed,brilliant wheel,let down by the cheap and tacky pedals, but nobody can get hold of the t3pa pro's at the moment. looks like june when they come back in stock so iam keeping my pedals for now until the pro's come out. my stock t300 rs pedals are 100% accurate out of the box so at least i can race !

My pedals and everything have been great, love the smoothness of the wheel..
Just don't stomp too hard on the brake pedal, because it's fairly delicate in there..
I can live with June because I was only hoping I'd ever get the T3PA Pro...
It'd be nice if they would change out my broken stock set because I'd been telling anyone who asked me that they were adequate, and not bad at all.. Not holding my breath now that I've told the whole world what happened though..

Hi. My question is as follows...Can I use the paddle shifters of T300 together with clutch(T3pa pedal set) or do u need the T8ha shifter? Will be using it for Project cars. Thanks.

Whether you could use this combo would be a game capability, not a hardware limitation.
pCARS definitely supports use of clutch, and race cars with sequential gearboxes generally require you to press the clutch when stationary (so you need it to launch and to prevent stalling if you spin off). Never tried a fully manual car (like the old DTM ones) with clutch and paddles, so not sure what it would do there.

Well, i will send my wheel to Thrusmaster. In the beginning i fix the calibration with the Calibrating Tool that Thrustmaster send me but now i have to calibrate the wheel frequently. Even when the wheel calibrate successful with the PS4 the wheel feels weak and the FBB is very very poor. It´s not normal that i have to used the calibration tools every 2 days to fix the issue. I hope that i don´t have wait for a long time.

I keep looking at this thread out of curiosity and I can't believe how many people have had issues with the T300. 
Thrustmaster really need to get their act together and improve their quality control. Sending out pedal sets that have to be taken apart by users to position the potentiometers correctly is incredibly poor. It's such a simple thing, yet they can't get that right.
All products will have a certain percentage of failures, it's inevitable, but this thread is grim reading for anyone that is in the market for a new gaming wheel. It would probably be a good idea for Thrustmaster to support GTPlanet and have an active member on the forum to help you guys resolve your issues. It would then look as though they care and are fixing things quickly.
Good luck to everyone with problems, I hope that you get them resolved soon. Remember that you're the customer, you should be 100% satisfied with your product, so don't live with faults, contact Thrustmaster and get them to fix the issue. 👍

Another happy T300RS wheel owner here. Had it a few months now and cannot fault either the wheel or pedals, worked 100% out of the box, and still the same now after GT6 use and abuse.
I too am looking at the T3PA pro pedals, purely for going fully manual when my TH8A shifter finally arrives. The supplied pedal set is functional rather than the last word in racing sim equipment, but still they are a step up from the Logitech DFGT ones I used for several years on GT5-6. The wheel itself is a massive step up from the DFGT wheel in build, feel and performance though.
Just got to wait till TM get more stock of the pro pedal set as they're out until June according to their online shop

Has anybody with the T300 playing GT6 changed your DOR ( degree's of rotation ) on the fly while driving ?
The reason i ask is because i did this last night and heard a loud "pop " and it felt like the wheel whent "light" (maybe it is in my head,hard telling ) so did i break it or not ?
Not my smarts move

Only three of us? So it`s rather uncommon. Should we contact with TM support about this?
Finished my set, it`s done and ready for Project CARS
. Wheel is great and ability to switch back and forth between PS3 (GT6 now and later) and PS4 (Driveclub now and Project CARS later) with full compatibility on both systems is a killer feature: I`m using both consoles regularly so it was very important to me. PC compatibility is a bonus.If you are thinking about Wheelstand Pro, I can only recommend it. Very stable.

Warm weathers coming tub sales will go up now buy one ya tight git! Ya know ya want to.I totally agree. 👍
Bad news spreads much faster than good. It does look rather worrying though, we could do with a poll, 'has your T300 been fault free?'
In comparison I didn't see this much negativity with the Logitech wheels, but maybe I'm wrong.

The usual answer is: have you made sure the switch (bottom left on the body) is on PS3 mode?
If that doesn't help.... With the standard 2 pedal set you should be using the mode light in red, I suppose you could also try holding the mode light for a few seconds and see if it goes red and if that helps... I don't recall mine defaulting to green.

I've had my T300RS since last November without any problems at all. But I use Fanatec CSPV2 for my pedals. Thra8 shifter, had no problems with any of them. Albeit the shifter squeaks a little when shifting gears.

Take the housing off the shifter and apply new grease. Its easy to do and wont void the warranty as the housing screws don't have the tamper paint on them, you will see the ones not to touch after removing the housing. Move the shifter back and forth and you can see where the grease needs to go. It will more than likely make the shifter movements smoother as well.

If only it was that easy.Warm weathers coming tub sales will go up now buy one ya tight git! Ya know ya want to.
I'm in no rush to buy a new wheel. I'm not buying driving games for the PS4 anyway, so I'm good.
I just don't like to see so many having issues. I know that there are far more satisfied customers than dissatisfied, but it's fairly obvious that the T300 is having more than its fair share of problems and its not exactly a bargain basement product.
Hello ive just gotten the t300rs and i found there is 2 problems with it:
1.) D-pad doesnt work
2.) clicking/ grinding noise
So i had requested for a in-store RMA and i got the replacement yesterday and first when i tested the wheel, there was no grinding noise at all until today the noise starts to appear. I'm gonna do another RMA again to see if the problem is going on if it is, i think im gonna refund the wheel and wait for a while.
BTW for the owners of T300RS, on the Thrustmaster Contol Panel, whats your package is? mine is 3.TTRS.2014, its kinda wired since its already april and the wheel is made from 2014?
