Virpil CM2 clunk sound

[Burt]

Just mounted the CM2 to check tension and noticed a clunk sound aft at 7-6 o’clock is this normal for these bases?

Probably worth checking inside, maybe something came loose. 

It is easy to do, I did it to change the cam in mine.

Thanks BigNewy ! I’m kinda thinking now that its my TM warthog viper grip now as it has alittle play at the base even when tightening the 2 screws. I may have to either get a new one or come up with a repair option. 
 

Thanks !

Well,  I put alittle bit of JB Weld around the base of the handle were the shaft meet last night. That did the trick and the CM2 and TM viper grip are smooth and silent. 
TM Viper/Warthog stick is 2 years old and from what I gathered it’s the weak spot of the TM grips even the F/A-18 Hornet. Grip.

good to hear you have sorted it. I switch to Virpil for my stick needs now, happy with mine. 

[Burt]

I may go that route alittle later. I,m looking at this one.

Did you open the grip an tighten the "thing"? 

These are also available in Ebay and Amazon.

No I didn’t open the grip I just tighten the 2 bolts at the base which didn’t help. This epoxy works very well. That anti bracket would of been nice too. Thanks for sharing that I may get one just in case.
