G29 pedals problem

Hi! Recently my Logitech g29 pedals started to show some problems. When I'm pushing full throttle, the brake pushes itself a bit and that makes the car slower while in games. Help pls!

Sounds like a physical/internal issue, I don't know how to fix that.

I own the G25, but maybe try the software/calibration settings as a band-aid fix. (you're not really fixing the issue, just getting around it for now)

From your description about full throttle, it could help to set up a deadzone for the brake. Which means lighter presses on the brake won't activate it. So it will take more effort on the pedal to get the brakes going, as a downside.

Another similar option I've seen suggested, is in the calibration settings for your brake pedal. If you can set/detect neutral for your pedal in software, press the brake pedal down slightly and set as neutral. So when you are stepping lightly on brake(or when full throttle from what you mentioned), it'll count as not being pressed at all.

Not the best options, but maybe a short term work around so the issue goes away.

Otherwise, find someone who has maybe tinkered inside of a G29 to help you. As well as try the Logitech forums for your device.

(I assume they still have one. I haven't looked through there in 5-6 years, and it wasn't very useful to me.)
