I used this video to repair my Thrustmaster T150 that started having issues with the right paddle shifter. Worked perfectly! The part he recommends fits perfectly and was only 67 cents each. Also, they shipped fast and were at my house in 3 days. I do recommend replacing both buttons as mentioned in the video as the new buttons had a slightly different feel and clicking noise than the originals so if you are anything like me I wanted them to feel and sound the same.
Thanks, dude, my paddle shifters on my TS-PC Racer were dampened due to the spring being stuck to the plastic cover, thanks for the reference.
The mini switches I used are Omron B3F-5050 switches. Here is a link to buy them: www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/omron-electronics-inc-emc-div/B3F-5050/368377?WT.z_header=search_go&s=N4IgjCBcoLQBxVAYygMwIYBsDOBTANCAPZQDaIAzAJwiFwAM9NAugL6uEBMZxAtgE5EAdgAIARhVQwArPVkg2QA
I was able to fix my t150, thank you :)
Hello very good video, I want to ask you the top row of the wheel yellow and blue button is there any springs, My problems the yellow and blue are weak. Is there anything I can do? Or is the motherboard weak? This is my 2nd TMX wheel.
ANYONE PLS REACH OUT.
My downshift padle does still work but only if I press it really hard. So I can't downshift as fast as before. Do you know what the problem could be?
Sorry for my bad English.... I am from Germany
Got the same problem, did you fix it?
Or you just gave up and buyed a new wheel?
Does anyone know if you can get the metal part of the gear paddles replacement parts mine are rusty and thats all i need to replace
after replacing my paddle clickers on my wheel, it still has the same problem. My wheel keeps sensing that im holding down the right paddle but im net even touching it and when driving it wont upshift. how do i deal with that problem?
Same issue, did you figure it out by chance?
@@jn48649 sadly no, I had no choice but to throw it away after a couple months of research. I'm just saving up for a new one
@@isaiahshortman21 damn, appreciate the response tho
@@jn48649did you find a way to fix it? Got the same problem..
@@maxsobrkk unfortunately not sorry
please reply i can't find it from that switch, can b3f-4050 do it instead?
what was the issue?
Thank you, is this works for my T150 RS PRO?
Halo, your video really help. However, the link of the switch is missing, it will be much appreciated if you post the link or the model of the switch again. Thanks!
would a 4050 work cus im from europe but they only have 4050
I can’t find any of these switches online, do you know of any other switches I could use?
hey do you happen to know if the T150 has the same switch?
What is the name of the cable
Thanks for the video. Can you put the link to buy the mini switch part?
Here is a link: www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/omron-electronics-inc-emc-div/B3F-5050/368377?WT.z_header=search_go&s=N4IgjCBcoLQBxVAYygMwIYBsDOBTANCAPZQDaIAzAJwiFwAM9NAugL6uEBMZxAtgE5EAdgAIARhVQwArPVkg2QA
Thanks! Mine is still in warranty I don't know if trying to fix it myself or contact Thrustmaster.
@@revolt3329 If yours is still in warranty, I would contact Thrustmaster. I think they will fix it for free
@@revolt3329 You're lucky! lol mine lasted for 4 years before conking out and I'm pretty sure we only get 1 year of warranty. Replacing the switches was a breeze though, super easy and they work way better than the originals lol
do you know the name of those little springs for shifter paddles?
Sorry but I do not know the name of the little springs. Maybe do a search with the dimensions of the springs?
you forgot to leave a link in the description for the mini-switches!
The link should be at the top of the comments section
@@ToniTheMechanic Thanks a million! Do you think the mini-switches would be same for the T150? I mean, they just do a simple click input so they should, but what do you think?
@@stupidpeople28 Yes, I think you can use the same switches but I'm not 100% sure
@@ToniTheMechanic Thanks again! Much appreciated!
@@ToniTheMechanic Thanks again! Those switches worked just fine for the T150 as well, I changed both so I don't have to worry about it. Problem solved for under $2. Unbelievable!
Is it safe to pull the cable from the wheel like you do in the beginning of the video?
You can pull the cable a little bit because the cable is a spiral cord. However, don't pull it with too much force.
