Take it apart and go to a local electronics store and get new pots or call
tm for free replacements if your'e not in a hurry. The pot may also be
slipping out of adjustment.
Also if you want to get a more realistic feel and lower your lap times
build a pedal box and wedge a tennis ball between the brake pedal and the
back of the pedal box, recalibrate and drive some laps, should take off a
second or two. You can vary the feel by using different balls and raising
or lowering the ball. Let me know if you like it.
