Anyone have any recommendations for beefier springs for the accelerator/clutch for the T3PA-Pro?
I would at least like some resistance.
I got accustomed to using foam, inserts and even bungee bands to get my DFGT Pedals up to snuff. But I'm hoping for something a little more sold for the T3PA's.I did not add springs but chunks of foam behind the pedals gives them a better feel. It is the lazy way but it works.
They wouldn't be directly compatible. I believe someone made a TM Pedals to USB adapter for PC use, but on PS4 you would need a direct to the wheel solution.
Oops..sorry typo.
I meant to say, can anyone confirm on the PC that I can use the T3PA-PRO with a Fanatec Wheel?
Also, can I still do the above if I get the Bodnar load cell mod?
Thank you.
The BLC-T500 Load Cell Mod (compatible with the T500RS and T3PA-Pro pedals) is now in stock and available for purchase.
I am in for one...
Shipping it tomorrow via USPS Priority Mail -- you should have it by Thursday, hopefully!
Hi John, USPS needed an extra day to travel that 100 miles or so to get the package to Cincinnati from Indy...
Very nice and solid looking part that was packaged perfectly...very clear instructions and I look forward to installing it this evening. 👍
**EDIT** Okay, I've installed it and took it straight away...so much better than the stock brake pedal on my T3PA Pro Pedal set. I will need a bit more practice to fine tune my braking points but I am already faster in the current TTs.
My Bodin load cell is amazing but my 60 day old T3PA Pro pedal set just failed with no input on the throttle pedal in GT6. I have a case number from TM and waiting for the RMA number and shipping label...bummer!
Hi John, no problem whatsoever with your load cell...👍
The problem was with the small, plastic gear on the throttle pedal...here is a link to another thread where I talk about it:

# Lets you adjust the dead zones at the beginning and end of each of the 3 pedals’ range of travel to your liking, and save them in the T.RJ12 USB Adapter’s internal memory
Ok, the T.RJ12 USB adapter came yesterday, so I had a quick go with my T500RS pedals.
As expected, they work perfectly, since they are of course 100% identical to T3PA-Pro pedals.
Now Thrustmaster pedals deliver 1024 steps of resolution in total, which means if the potentiometers were perfect they would show raw values of 0 to 1023. Mine clearly need a small amount of deadzone, but much less than Thrusmaster provides by default.
Looking at the picture below, you can see that my pedals show a deadzone requirement of under 10 steps at the start of throw (as you can see they register 6, 7 and 0 respectively, there is a small fluctuation but not more than 1-2 steps). They also show a deadzone requirement of around the same at the end of travel (they register up to around 1016-1018).
The stock deadzones are 102 steps at both ends, but I could see anyone who dislikes the size of the stock deadzone getting one of these adapters to be able to use the calibration tool, just to reduce their deadzone from 102 steps down to ~20 steps. For some people this would actually be a big upgrade.
Here's my screenshot of the Calibration tool for reference:
P.S. The adapter comes with a "car/plane" switch. Makes me think that Thrustmaster are planning to allow use of this adapter with rudder pedals, perhaps in a new flight/space sim product. There's no information in the manual about what the plane switch could be used for at this time but I would guess it's for "combined pedals" as needed for rudder.
