Thrustmaster T16k TWCS lm8uu bearing mod

thingiverse

Very simple modification to the thrustmaster throttle, the original sled uses plastic on metal and sucks, this one uses proper lm8uu bearings (4x24mm long or 2x50mm long) to solve the issue of stiction once and for good. Some clearance is needed to be made on the base plate, you can either do that just by screwing it back together and moving the joystick back and forth a couple hundred times and letting the screw head sand a groove or using a dremel to make a small trench where the screw head travels. See photo for example. Otherwise it is just a easy drag and drop replacement to the original sled.
