Step 2 – Option 1 – Single Brake Damper Only Setup
The Fanatec CSL Elite V2 pedals come with a threaded bar that partially spans the rear of the three pedals. The Tracktility Damper Kit has been designed to utilise this threaded bar for single damper setups to the brake pedal.
For multi-damper setups, please see “ Step 2 – Option 2 ” below to remove the threaded bar entirely and use the included bolt kit, which can be hand tightened.
Remove only the rear threaded bar from pedals. This can sometimes be tight to remove/replace.
Take your time.
The front threaded bar should remain in place for all steps. It is used to
engage the Tracktility Damper Kit and cannot be removed with the kit in place.
|
Step 2 – Option 2 – Multi-Damper Setup
For multi-damper setups, please remove both of the threaded bars entirely and use the included bolt kit, which can be hand tightened.
Remove both threaded bars from the pedals. These can be tight to remove/replace.
Take your time.
Insert the front bolt in place of the front threaded bar only. Utilise the
provided spring washer and nut and loosely tighten (finger tight is fine).
There is no need to fully compress the washer, as the spring will retain the
nut position.
__Note: If you are using this kit for the throttle/clutch pedal, please use the provided spacers to ensure a snug fit.
| 
Step 3.
Slide the Tracktility unit into the recess under the front threaded bar/bolt. This will be a tight fit as the toe of the unit engages with the front threaded bar.
The heel of the unit should be flush with the back of the pedal set and the rear holes aligned with the threaded bar.
| 
---|---
Step 4.
Rear bar/bolt replacement:
Replace rear threaded bar, washer and nuts or bolt, spring washer, and cap.
The rear bar/bolt can be a tight fit on first installation. Ensure the threaded bar holes are aligned with the holes on the Tracktility unit.
Note: If using the included bolt kit, place spring washer and nut on threaded end and loosely tighten (finger tight is fine). There is no need to fully compress the washer, as the spring will retain the nut position.
| 
Step 5.
Select damper cup.
The correct damper cup selection is important.
Brake – Use the included short cup. This cup provides clearance to the spring block and a linear brake damper travel.
Two stage Clutch/throttle – Use the included long cup. This cup provides a greater pedal travel, with a two- stage resistance (firm to soft) throughout the ark of travel.
|
Step 6.
Install cup clamp.
Clamp will fit securely around bottom flange of the pedal foot-pad. Once aligned, insert 4x Philips head screws, along with the damper cup.
Tighten until clamp halves touch and fit is secure. This does not need to be over tightened.
| 
Step 7.
Install the hydraulic damper.
- Ensure the damper is set to between 0 to 1.
- Lower the damper into place.
- Compress damper and place into cup of damper cup.
__Note : To remove damper, ensure unit is set between 0 to 1 and compress by hand and remove damper. Do not attempt to remove damper in higher setting.
__WARNING : To avoid discomfort and risk of pinching skin, ensure damper is set to between 0 to 1 before compressing and fitting to cup.

Step 8a. (Brake Only)
Adjust spring cartridge procedure.
The Rev 2.XX Tracktility Hydraulic Damper kits are designed to allow access to the spring cartridge without removal of the damper cup.
Simply swing the cup up when changing the cartridge, to gain full access.
WARNING: Always use the fanatic provided finger guards when changing springs to avoid pinching of fingers.
| 
---|---
Step 8b. (Throttle/Clutch Only) Check full travel clearance.
When installed, check that damper has clearance at full depression of the brake pedal.
If no clearance. Loosen grub screws on collar and adjust position until clearance achieved. Tighten grub screws to retain collar in position.
| 
9. Adjust Fanatec brake settings.
Although the Tracktility unit is isolated from the load- cell, it is
recommended to re-calibrate your brake pedal sensitivity after re-fitting or
changing springs/elastomers.
Note : The Fanatec Tracktility unit allows for 30mm of damper travel (approx. 45mm of brake pedal travel).
If preferred, using a light-sprung setup (i.e. high travel low resistance) you will encounter a firm stop at the end of this travel. If so, you will need to re-calibrate your brake pedal sensitivity to account for the new load at full travel.
