Hi. I woke up this morning, started the game and heard this strange scuffing sound coming from the inside of my T500RS unit. It wasn't like this yesterday, everything was just fine. I can feel the noise is being accompanied by a slight increase of resistance when I turn the wheel, as if some elements were rubbing against each other in an abnormal manner. I've recorded a short video so you can hear what I'm talking about. I apologise for poor image quality but it's not the point here, the sound is good enough to notice the problem. Mind you, the clicking sound comes from poor mounting with disassembled casing so it's irrelevant. Any idea what happened and how can I fix it? EDIT: I've added a second vid, this time with the wheel turning by under its own power.
Problem solved! I feel that I should share the solution with other T500RS users as at one point they may encounter a similar problem. The sound came from the white gear scraping the metal plate holding the whole belt drive arrangement. Putting some white grease between these two elements made the wheel work like new.
