How to disassemble and fix the Fanatec Clubsport V2 Throttle Pedal

[@ed_weird]

Thank you a lot, you saved me buying a new set of pedals. This video should be included in the fanatec maintenance guide.

[@pali1H]

@@ed_weird that's awesome! Glad it helped! I made this video so long ago because it made me mad that Fanatec didn't have any documentation on it

[@carlosmartos7009]

Thanks a bunch mate. I had a throttle dead zone problem with my CSP V3 after almost 3 years, time and use making things worst. I just resolved my issue thanks to your video. Signal is perfectly synchro with pedal movment now. As a bonus, signal is at 100% when I fully presse the pedal. There is no more gap to reach 100%. Thanks again!

[@pali1H]

No problem! I made this video back in 2014 because I was having big issues with it as well. Glad it worked! I should probably make a shorter, more precise version. I was just kinda recording the whole time haha

[@carlosmartos7009]

@@pali1H lol yeah but anyway, essetial is in and it's not too long. But yes a shorter more focused one will be very useful. A few hundreds video reviews but almost nothing on this problem and Fanatec doesn't provide this information either.

[@Fester_]

Good man. A real world lesson on how to. Time to play with my V3 pedal sticking. I've already lost one plastic stand off. Thanks again.

[@pali1H]

No problem. This video was a long time ago. I'm using the V3 now as well. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@11collier11]

Thank you so much for posting this video! I've been having the throttle problem from time to time, and would do small adjustments, but eventually I decided to do a full teardown and rebuild this past weekend. Thanks to this video the part about the pin with the magnet was the key to making sure everything was put set correctly, and after finishing I found all was working properly again. Thanks again!!

Thanks 12/2021 👍🇬🇹

[@michaelboyce3227]

I know this is quite an old video but wanted to comment that you're correct the upper holes don't work for changing where the pivot point is. The upper holes are for the additional damper to mount to. Apologies if someone already said this.

[@pali1H]

Yeah you are right. Good call!

[@mrj3217]

I own the V3 inverted and I am experiencing like 50% max throttle and the 100% value max kept going lower and I had to readjust the value often. Now I see exactly what the problem is and I will fix tonight. I will comment about the results after I try this to fix the problem.

[@pali1H]

Any luck?

[@jamesbaker2496]

Mine was playing up. I switched the throttle.for the clutch, twisted it all the way up and down a few times, works a treat now.

[@pupazzovtec]

Thanks, your video helped me issuing the right cause of my malfunctioning throttle signal!!

[@pali1H]

Glad it helped! I was banging my head when it happened to me and finally figured it out. Couldn't find anyone talking about it so I made the video.

[@itsmefpv2245]

Thanks man! Helped me alot and all works fine again!

[@pali1H]

No problem! I shot this so long ago lol

[@2ndLastJedi]

Saved my life mate! Thanks heaps.

[@pali1H]

No problem man! Glad it helped!

[@zafdex7623]

I have some issues about my throttle like this. I will disassemble this weekend that it’s usefull way i hope. Thanks for the video. If this way does not work i’m going to try change clutch sensor to throttle one.

[@pali1H]

For sure! They are pretty sensitive so they can be easily misaligned or interfered with. I'd also buy an extra one to have laying around so you aren't without their use until one arrives. Switching it for the clutch one will work great.

[@Venidos]

Thank you this helped me a lot. Shame that it the problem resufaced itself after 2 weeks... I dont really know should I redo the process since it was super annoying to take part from my rig and put it back in...

[@pali1H]

No problem! Do you use the clutch? If not, I would try to use the sensor from that on your throttle pedal first, see if the issue goes away. If it goes away I'd try to buy a new throttle sensor. If it is still happening, it could be the main board PCB under the pedals, behind the shield itself starting to go. I'm not sure on parts availability these days with these pedals. I'd email Fanatec support to see if they still sell the PCB for this. I had to do that a long time ago and it wasn't very expensive.

[@slootje1338]

Thanks for the video, my issue is not related. I was trying to figure out which way to solder the wires, the cables got ripped out. Hard to find information let alone parts for old stuff like this.

[@pali1H]

Let me know if you still need this info

[@BenjaminLindsay]

Thx dude. I'll give it a try to see if that's what's causing the blip.

[@krislambert6625]

hey guys i started to get a little throttle problem wher the throttle was only going up to about 90% under full pressure and also when i release the throttle pedal the bar in the drivers was bouncing around a little bit as if i was gently pushing the pedal,sometimes unplugging the ps2 cable and back in again solved it for a few hours but the problem comes back,so by tightening the spring at the back of the pedal and slightly loosening off the screws on the sensor it solved the problem (for now) good video

[@LuisSoto-ho5fw]

Great video and extremely helpful. However, I think the title should be something like "How to fix throttle misalignment with Fanatec Clubsport V2 Pedals," as this doesn't really tell me how to take them apart.

[@mellowbug]

Would this also fix erratic throttle movement without touching the pedal? It sometimes goes on its own. Strange thing is it does not always do that.

[@mellowbug]

These parts are not available anymore from them.

[@YouGxD]

Thank you !!!!!!

[@pali1H]

No problem!

[@ScalinoCorleone]

hey, many thanks for this vid. It's amazing* Fanatec themselves don't provide this kind of information... *: being polite...

[@pali1H]

Scalino Corleone No problem! I was thinking of doing more of these

[@olivierfritzen2749]

Yes they do

[@deanlawrence871]

Hi, I tried to adjust my throttle throw earlier (which I’ve done 2 times prior) I connected it to the laptop and then re-adjusted the min/max inputs for the throttle. At this point it was connected and the throttle was responding on the laptop. I’ve then tried to go on f1 but the throttle isn’t responding. (Brake still is) Tried turning it all off/on again and nothing. When I connect it back to the laptop the pedals don’t even register. Any ideas? Can’t be coincidence that I’ve messed about with throttle and it’s the only part of pedal not working, but why would it not be detected by the laptop? Thanks in advance

[@pali1H]

Hey Dean. Are you still having this issue?

[@deanlawrence871]

@@pali1H hi, thanks for the reply but yes it’s sorted. Can’t remember what I did though!

[@pedropaquete7]

hello, if my pedals are still on their side, do they repair or exchange?

[@hoihoy]

Cool Video. I have done all that and more but still have issues. So I need replacement. Problem is, Fanatec does not send spare parts. I would have to send the whole thing. Do you know where to get them, like from another source? Like I noticed they send spare parts to Australia...

[@CrabNicolson]

Same issue here, but in the U.S. I need a hall sensor, but can't get fanatec to send me one. By the time i pay shipping, labor, & parts I can buy a new unit. It's ridiculous.

[@kevko5212]

Thanks for the video! I decided to give it a try after my throttle would constantly top out at 98% unless I really pressed hard on it. When I opened it up, I found that the magnet has a crack and some bits broken off. Do you forsee this being a problem? Or will it still work normally? I have it put back together now, and it seemed to be working fine. But it always works fine for a while after reconnecting the usb.

[@pali1H]

+kevko5212 No problem! It should be ok. I wouldn't worry about that. I also found out an interesting thing. My throttle to wouldn't go to 100% recently, even when unplugging. I read somewhere that the load cell on the brake can actually cause this. I didn't believe it as my brake was working fine. I changed the hall sensor but still I couldn't get the throttle to 100%. I then swapped the load cell just to try it and it worked perfectly! Very odd.

[@chrispictures1]

So you took it apart and put it back exactly the same, but did not say what needs to be done to fix a non working gas pedal.

[@pali1H]

Hey Christopher. It is in the description of the video. If it isn't fixed by the process shown in the video, new parts will be needed. These hall sensors usually didn't last too long. What I was showing in the video is the magnet pin sliding out of place, hall sensor too loose or too tight can cause throttle issues. Taking it apart, cleaning and re mounting normally fixed issues. If it didn't then parts need to be ordered.

[@luckymic6489]

There is no chance to get a PCB nor a hall sensor from Fanatec anymore :-( Does anyone have an alternative?

[@pali1H]

Did you reach out to support and make a ticket? They took them down from the website many years ago but you could still order through a support ticket. I did that a little over a year ago.

@@pali1H Sure but it's not available anymore... :-(

Is there a generic replacement potentiometer for it?

I think so but I never tested with them. I always just ordered through Fanatec.

[@dedskin1]

oh you have no idea , push the gas spring you can move it with a finger and remove the pin , its easy . No the hall effect sensor does not detect the magnet as it rotates , for it does not rotate , look at it , it moves 0 in respect to the board , 0 movement. So what it does is uses that magnet as a 0 , to compare with i guess some kind of other mechanism like a gyroscope or something , just look at pin does not rotate in respect to the pedal , so the magnet does no rotate , nor does the board since its on the pedal , all of it remains fixed . So its not how it works

[@Bili5]

20$ for a hall sensor. Jesus almighty!
