The pins come out quite easily, just bend the plastic clip a little with a small screwdriver.

The image is not very good, so here's the wires listed from left to right, when connector clips are facing up.. Gray, light blue, pink, brown, white, purple, green, yellow, red, dark blue, black. The pinout page has all these pins explained as well. | The image is not very good, so here's the wires listed from left to right, when connector clips are facing up..

Also, the three pin cable going to the steering wheel potentiometer must be flipped, otherwise the steering will be reversed. :) This is quite simple when done on the potentiometer side, just remove and re-insert the connector like this: | Also, the three pin cable going to the steering wheel potentiometer must be flipped, otherwise the steering will be reversed. :) This is quite simple when done on the potentiometer side, just remove and re-insert the connector like this: | ||

Now, the wheel itself should be ready, and in theory you could re-assemble it now. However, it's better to just connect all cables and leave the case open for now, in case there is something still wrong.. Don't test it yet, wait until you have modified the pedals! | Now, the wheel itself should be ready, and in theory you could re-assemble it now.

Now you need to open the Momo pedals. There are a lot of screws on the bottom which all need to be removed. Below you can see a trained professional doing this task: | Now you need to open the Momo pedals. There are a lot of screws on the bottom which all need to be removed.

When you have the pedals opened, you can see the wires that are connected to the potentiometers with crimp connectors. Remove all the wires from the pots, then cut the blue and brown wires after the first connector. Solder these together and insulate properly..

Force GP only has four buttons (+gears) so all of Momo's six buttons can't work.. | + | Note that the green LEDs and white buttons don't work.

I had some initial worries about loosing the amazingly good force feedback of Momo.. After all, the wheel now has the cheapy Force GP processor fitted, and feedback is controlled by that chip too! | I had some initial worries about loosing the amazingly good force feedback of Momo..

This article was originally written ten years ago, in 2005. :) Since then, Logitech has released a whole bunch of new wheels that work just fine with Playstations. However I'm still using my good old modified red Momo. :) | This article was originally written ten years ago, in 2005. :) Since then, Logitech has released a whole bunch of new wheels that work just fine with Playstations.
