G29 pedal input flickering

[javitabara]

I don't know if anyone else might have this issue, but I have a 1 year old G29 and recently the accelerator pedal has started to behave oddly.
As far as I am aware, I don't think I lose straight line speed, but here's the thing: when I press the pedal all the way down, the app shows a little flicker at the top of the green bar.
I've read some things about the pots being worn, but I'm not really much into it.
Any advice would be appreciated.

probably dirt and debree from/on the coal-strip of the rotary potentiometer inside the pedal (your travel-sensor).

some pedals develop this further down the line, some earlier. Good idea to dust them off from time to time, even when not in use. Careful dry cleaning is probably what's needed and a little bit of coal-dust on the brush-strip isn't abnormal. That's just how these things operate. You can clean them multiple times before they wear out.

btw, that safety-shim that the guy struggles with in the video at 16m40-ish, he could have saved himself a bit of trouble by bending it's inside metal-strip back tight before putting it back on the potentiometer-shaft

Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a try.

Buy a electronic contact cleaner spray then just spary under the accelerator pedal.
This is how I fixed my G27 pedal, same problem.

I just fully press the pedals a few times before each race and the flicker effect goes away.
