The reason this adjustment is not in the manual is it reduces the amount of thread used to hold the rod. Reducing the amount of thread to the levels in this video can and will lead to damage of the thread - there just are not enough turns to deal with how hard pedals are pressed in the heat of battle. Instead, get the hydraulic mod and fit it to the throttle pedal. You can reduce the hydraulic effect to zero if you don't like it, but what you can do is twist in the piston throw adjustment to put the pedal throw exactly at the amount you want. Another way to have the same effect is to put one of the spare elastomer plugs from the brake performance kit into the hole where the throttle spring rod goes into back pivot - it will have the same effect.

Awesome video on this. Easy to follow and the process doesn't require additional parts. Well done.

Thank you! I just purchased the V3’s, and this video has just perfected my driving experience. Thanks again!

Didn’t realise what was annoying me a bit about the throttle until I saw your video! It’s perfect now - thank you!

Thank you so much for this video, I was frustrated why my throttle travel was so short after installing a different spring!

Just what i was looking for. Cheers. ( It is still so surprising to see a homemade, simple if you like, video being recorded and shown in 4K. Long gone are the jittery 480p, broken microphone home videos of not too long ago. Better quality, yet more storage drives. Thanks again).

Thank you for this video ! Exactly the solution that I need !

Good job and thanks to share it! It's a great improvement. It was a con when I got it.

Wow thank you! Short, sweet and informative.

THANK YOU MATE !!! i just watched your video, upgraded my throttle and adjjusted Throw. i will test it.. but i know this will help, since i was already aware of the distance being way to long. thank you again !!

I did this, it's so much better thanks ! Less leg strain

Thanks! Very simple and easy to follow

thanks, i really like how its feels now!!!

Perfect vid man! :) My right combo was RED12 and Red 13 :)

Perfect! Thanks very much, this will help me a great deal.

thank you, sir! I'm going to try this

Perfect! Thanks for this video it's just what I needed. ✌️😎

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you.

Detailed but to the point! Thanks

If I was an asphalt racer, I would do this. Being a dirt track racer, I appreciate the long throw. More modulation for slick tracks.

Clear video an just to the point, thank you

Thank you, will give it a try.

This worked great. Thank you.

Very helpful video👍🏼

Thank you, great video 👍

Just wanted to say thanks for this video. I'm a little lazy with the throttle, so I wasn't coming off it fast enough in a braking zone, causing some weird things to happen with the car. Shortened the throw some, instantly fixed that issue. Thanks.

Great job 👏🏻

Since the rod isn't as screwed in, would that cause durability issues since it's not as firmly inside both end pieces?

Nice solution!!!!👍🏻👍🏻

Mine come in tomorrow!

Very useful!!

Thx! So helpful

Special thanks from my right hamstring

I wish I had thought to do this before adding the hydraulic kit to my throttle as well. My rig is in the corner of my room and it's real difficult to get behind the pedals :(

Is it possible do something like that for the clutch pedal? I have inverted V3, in case it matters.

I wound out the shaft as far as I felt comfortable doing, need to leave enough thread in, the throw for me is still a little far. I'm thinking of putting a small piece of elastomer inside where the shaft goes.

So even the stronger spring wasn’t enough to make it stiffer? Would like to try this method but worried it might get loose since its not fully screwed on. How’s it working so far?

Thank you.

Hey thanks for the video, is there anyway to shorten the travel of the brake pedal ? thanks!

thank you

thanks!

On my rod underneath there is a set screw which prevented the rod from being rotated. Was afraid to play with this set screw so everything was put back. FYI

Thanks

I'm pretty frustrated with my clubsport v1 throttle. I consistently have power out of the turn issues (I race ovals mostly, either not enough power applied or suddenly too much and get sideways) because the power comes too fast. I depress the throttle using the spongebob toe method (really carefully) and it's going 50-75% throttle. I thought of moving the rod up on the "rungs" on the side of the throttle pedal, but of course the sensor needs to move up too, but no holes are drilled. Would this kind of help this overly sensitive initial throttle application?

What does the Red spinny Adjustment do on the brake pedal???

Mate this is soo good thanks for making this video so much better to get on the power way quicker but would u recommend the dampener for the throttle or is it not worth it??

Are there any adjustments on the physical gas pedal or via software to make sure I’m getting 100% throttle? I feel like I’m missing out on top end , albeit minimal but it hurtd

New to sim racing here... What is the advantage of having a short throw?

I shortened mine just a little.

Thank you. I wonder why I don’t get 100 % compression. When I press down on the throttle pedal I only get 80% of full throttle. I can’t get the top speed as a result.

Don't you need to recalibrate the throttle after adjusting the throw?

I think it’s time for a V4 version of the CS or Podium pedal set.

👍🏼

Do the indicated tutorial. By making this adjustment, you always have to have the settings in manual mode to determine the end of the pedal, right? I wanted to put it back as standard and it no longer goes down that far even reaching the end and now the auto-calibration mode only detects me 3/4 with the pedal fully. What could have happened? Thanks a lot.

I’ve done this and it’s a great improvement. I’m now no longer getting full throttle though, anyone else has this problem?

Why would you want to make the throttle throw as low as possible? Just makes less room for trottle control.. Nice tutorial though.😁

I note that several comments have highlighted the potential damage that could occur to the threading or connection point due to only a small amount of thread being used to secure the rod. This argument does have merit, and while I had been using this setup for months without fault, since uploading this video, I have found that using a 3d printed plug (or a correctly shaped cylindrical object) that inserts into the retaining hole (bottom) where the throttle rod goes into back pivot is potentially a safer alternative. This alternative artificially lengthens the rod, and in turn, reduces the throttle pedal throw. However, it then becomes more complicated to adjust the exact distance of the throw. If you are considering this method, then I would suggest that you experiment by using a short plug first (less than 1cm) as that will not drastically reduce the throw and will enable you to shorten/fine-tune the throw further by using the example shown in this video - doing so will utilise more available thread in the rod and provide a more secure connection. As mentioned in the description, this is a non-standard modification, so proceed with caution as any damage caused is at your own risk.

I think you need to put an other two turns of thread back mine was similar and fell apart mid race most annoying it was but you definitely do need a shorter pedal from when they arrive

Not a good idea

This doesn’t change the distance of the throw; it just starts further forward. It changes the pedal angle and unloads the spring, which makes it softer.
