Strange G27 brake pedal problem
Hey guys!

So i recently discorvered a really strange problem with my brake pedal.For example, I am on a straight with full throttle (of course) and all of a sudden the brake pedal starts "being pressed" without actually pressing it... I hope someone can help...

Cheers,

Thats a common problem with the G25/27 pedals, what you can do to fix:

1) Try to clean them.
2) If you've got some WD40 around open them clean the potentiometers with it.
3) If you're lazy and it only comes on very slightly get DXTweak and add a deadzone for your brake pedal

How old is it? If its within 2 years or just out of warranty there is a chance that you might be able to get a replacement. Take it apart to clean only if warranty is void. My old G25 had that issue and they sent me a new one.

Sadly the new one is now acting up after a few years. Loads of youtube vids on how to clean the pots. But check if its okay to use WD40, as I've heard that ocntact cleaner is better.

Some people dismantle the pedal assembly and take out the pots - but before you do that just clean it first and see if it helps (even for a few months).

Be ready - there will be a lot of gunk in there!
Thanks guys! After almost 2.5 years its maybe time to clean the pedals too Big grin
