Supposedly, the mechanism, that changed from H-pattern to sequential modes was one of the first things, that broke, so that's why they dropped it in G27 shifter.

@raphII2 3 года назад

Most of these things are due to price, I don't see how going in reverse is that difficult for you, but I've got a car that uses the same mechanism so I guess I'm used to it. The shifts are WAY better short, you don't want to be shifting with a long throw in a sports car it makes shifting really slow compared to the shorter throw and is actually harder for me to miss gears when using short throw shifters. The thrustmaster shifter is about the same throw, but the leaver is longer and the shifter is gated.. and it costs twice as much..

@OCRacing 3 года назад

I agree with what you said. I think the biggest problem with this shifter is simply how little force is actually required to switch gears. Totally aware that this is due to its low price and in all honestly, I don't know of any other H-pattern shifters in the market at this price point. This shifter isn't bad considering the price, I wouldn't say its necessarily good either. Its kind of just decent for the price. The title of this video makes it seem like this is a terrible product, I recognize that, but this is RU-vid and views are views lol.

So i literally just bought a G29 with the shifter as my first ever wheel. Ive never used any sim wheels aside from logitech ones before, so idk about those, but I *HAVE* owned driven plenty of real manual cars, so im comparing it mainly to my real car outside. It feels... good enough. Yes, the reverse gear was the first thing I noticed. It hates going into reverse, also the shifter feels too light for what im used to. Yeah the gears are very close together, but I havent had any problems with miss shifts so far, only once or twice. Otherwise for me, it feels satisfying and realistic enough for my needs at least.

@ypk1580 2 года назад

The problem with shifting into reverse may just be your unit.... I've played with the G27 and G29 shifters, and in both of the units that I played with went into reverse completely fine. I actually modded my G27 shifter by adding some velcro to the inside where the shift mechinism is that result in better feel when you shift and reduced noise of the stick hitting the walls on the inside.

@OCRacing 3 года назад

@wolo 2 года назад

The problem with reverse is actually well known, it seems it occurs in all versions. This is caused by micro-cracks on the circuits of that small board with two wires and a switch, which can be found at the very bottom inside of the shifter. The reason it don't react sometimes is after some number of pressing the lever down to use the reverse, it presses that button on that tiny board, and clearly it's not sturdy enough and eventually connections on that board are sometimes split/broken (there's two of these lines, leading from one of the wires to the switch and then back to the second wire.) To fix that you need to re-make these two circuits, ie. by soldering some wire instead, which will be much more sure working in such stressful conditions. So: open the shifter, carefully remove the main shift mechanism and locate that little board somewhere under it. (it's good to hold the mechanism, to not have to waste time reassembling some parts of it when you let it split to parts.. try to find someone to hold it for that time or maybe use some clamp, like these for woodworkers) Then fix these mentioned connections on that board (don't waste your time examining how they look and trying to find the break on them. You'll probably won't, such are too small to recognize them easily, just solder wires to connect the points which are originally connected with these lines, then put it back, assemble with the mechanism and that should be it.

@FRIEDWINGZ17 3 года назад

having buttons and a sequential mode would have been really cool for sure. no clue why they thought removing the buttons and stuff was a good idea. I have to agree about the plastic bit on the knob, after a handful of sessions with it, it started moving around and popping up like yours. I got used to the reverse gear, it became easier once i got a frame for my rig and wasnt afraid to push on stuff. and yeah it is pretty toy-like. i like how easy it is to push into gear (i practically just slap the thing forward to go 4th-3rd). but yeah, having a nice clunk feeling would complete it. But the price tho! considering a thrustmaster shifter is like $170 and all you get extra is sequential mode and a 7th gear (dont know if it feels any better, I would hope but i havent tried it), logitech prob doesnt see a reason to make the shifter better or cheaper. good to know other people have some of the same gripes as I do.

@Deadite8593 2 года назад

When I owned a g27 I tried a handful of mods, none of them really made me happy. Aftermarket shift knobs make it much heavier, and then the shifter feels sloppy as you are able to easily overpower the detent bearings (these let you feel a click of resistance between gears). For the price I can't put it down too much, but I see it as a stepping stone for someone new to sim racing that isn't ready to pay $2-300 for a shifter alone

@altothedutchangeldragon4125 2 года назад

i have a problem where it puts me in 5th gear when its very clearly been shifted into 3rd so yeah, i can see the reverse gear going into 6th happening

@raphaeltoast 2 года назад

This is kinda nitpicking. #5 - In countries like the UK, the shifter literally comes as a free gift with the wheel. #4 - Those buttons come on the wheel. Logitech probably thought there's no sense in having 2 sets of the same buttons. #3 and #1 are the same point. If it weren't plastic it would end up costing more. #2 - I always just moved it to neutral and then hit the left paddle to reverse. Much easier.

@freedomdst 2 года назад

you dont need any buttons on the shifter since the newer wheels have a lot of buttons already, and i know its an older design, but it looks a lot more tacky with all those buttons.

@Oaxyy_yt 3 года назад

He said it feels like a toy🤦‍♀️ it is a toy also it’s 60 bucks so it’s not gonna be perfect

@slowmotionbetterthannomotion. 3 года назад

The TH8A, and fanatec shifter is also a “toy” and feels way better. I own a TH8A myself and it feels real.

@kalecardenas9645 3 года назад

Well its supossed to feel real but it is 50 dollars. I dont like the plastic but you can fix it

@mr.ditkovitch152 2 года назад

So i found this shifter super cheap then I got a random adaptor that converts it into an usb. The problem is that when I'm trying to set it up in content manager nothing happens but the shifter is being read as an USB-to-serial Comm-Port in windows. Any ideas? Thanks.

@kikilafrite09 2 года назад

sadly mine broke after like 5-6 months of use, i tried re-installing the drivers and gHUB, throwing contact cleaner at the db9 connector cleaning the inside connections, none of it worked. im waiting to get the thrustmaster shifter its way higher quality

@vincenteriksson4062 11 месяцев назад

I mean it's a shifter. That's it, there is no reason to have the same amount of buttons on it as a nuclear power plant control room

@southernbustransportation 6 месяцев назад

Exactly

What is the name of the cable to use a logitech shifter with trustmaster wheel?

@bellowworld227 2 года назад

I have the same reverse problem. But u just haved to get used to it and feel we’re it slides into gear

@limitetpancake9459 2 года назад

3:00 i had pretty much the same problem, just turn the shifter 180 degrees and remap the buttons. its so much easier if reverse is under 1st gear

@Duderrof 2 года назад

Kinda glad I still have the g25 shifter with all the buttons and siquentual shift switch

@dylanbabcock517 2 года назад

Mine is janky constantly, I’ll be in the place of 2nd, but it shows I’m in 4th, then I’ll push up the shifter and back down into the same spot, and I’m back in 2nd

@mikoajgoembka6978 2 года назад

Long time ago I did have g27 but I sell it. Now after couple years I'm looking for g29 because of the look of it and you have more buttons on it. And I'm freaking curious can you plug the G25/G27 shifter in to G29 and will it work?

@rutles222 2 года назад

I don't have problem with the reverse gear but sometimes when I quickly shift from 3 to 2 it goes to 4

@xiao9225 Год назад

2:20 what I did was sanding the paint of that part and then I painted the lines in black, so it remains with a white finish that seems more realistic and less plastic

@kyasaxi9952 2 года назад

Can i buy the logitech wheel and pedals and then buy the th8a shifter seperate and use it like that or would it not work?

@tylerlanceGSD 7 месяцев назад

I still cant find how to make the push down my reverse. For some reason it doesnt work

@williamtackett3814 Год назад

@OC Racing can you use the previous 2 shifters with the g29?

@tgplays9378 2 года назад

Hi, I recently picked up the Thrustmaster t248 and was really wondering if this shifter would work with it on my ps5?

@samwich635games3 3 года назад

You can go to a local car shop and buy a new shift nob to attach instead of ball making it more comfortable and realistic. Also adding an ascetically pleasing effect to the setup.

@nickst2797 3 года назад

I just bought one, and one of the two knobs that you spin them to secure the shifter, does not stay down when i press it down. Is this normal?

@bilkillenbilkillen4609 3 года назад

I have the same problem

@OCRacing 3 года назад

If it still clamps on and works well, It should still work fine. I don't think its normal but its also not uncommon from what I have heard. If it works and you are having no issue, then I wouldn't worry. If its causing the shifter to not stay in place, I would return it.

@niranjank4483 3 года назад

bro u have to push it down and turn it towards the right

@diabetus-boi6795 2 года назад

i have a slight squeak whenever i turn left on my g29 and i dont know what is is can anyone help me

@OlettaLiano 2 года назад

I agree 100%. The first thing anyone who's driven with a stick shift in real life will notice is how sloppy it feels. It's so hard to feel when you're in the right gear, and thus a lot of misshifts accure. The only good thing about it is it's better than using the paddles on the wheel, but not much.

@ry7hym Год назад

I'm watching this deciding if I want to buy a wheel in a bundle with a shifter. and you convinced me to wait on the shifter also nice to see that you're also playing WRC

What ps3 and ps4 games work with the logitech g29 wheel and this shifter

@Thereal1733 2 года назад

I felt number 5, when I got the wheel I also got the shifter. The Wheel was next day prime delivered whereas the shifter was out of stock. It ended up taking like a whole half a month just to get the shifter by time I got it I forgot that I bought the thing.

@rainz2 2 года назад

when i first got the shifter, i agreed with all of those. but when i began to use it daily, i loved it and i can’t stop using it

@chantaltodd8655 Год назад

When I put it in reverse it sometimes (90% of the time) gets stuck causing me to stay in neutral or 5th gear

@charisantoniou5640 3 года назад

can you use it with any wheel on ps4 except g29 and g920?

@noot3778 Год назад

wait how do you use it with your thrustmaster wheel??

@TheSchnitzelable Год назад

Mostly agree is there any difference between the older generations and the last in terms of build quality, shift feel or faultiness? I'm happy it's available separately because I bought it dirt cheap used and use it with a T500RS wheel and with a DFGT before. They are available as a bundle with a wheel or was before. Not sure if TM sells the TH8A together with any wheel. I had an issue when some gears were recognised as different 2 instead of 4 etc... I've alligned it with a screw on the stick and it was fine but I've messed up my reverse completely and it's such a pain to disassemble and put together so I rather use the paddle shifter to engage reverse. For the shifting feel I've used a ghetto solution rubber bands made it feel nicer and I've used a sparco metal gear knob which is longer so the throws are longer and I like it better now, almost good but I almost could get a used TH8A for the price of everything. So it's not that bad now and I'm happy there is a cheap H shifter available.

@noahe1707 3 года назад

I hate having to press down to go backwards when yhe plate on top show to go over another gear

The one with the reverse happens to me also the plastic on the top flies off if I change the gears a bit too hard

@Jerry-n3r 2 года назад

With my logitech G shifter the plastic top piec whas moveing around the the little pins broke of so I had to hot glue the top cap on

@kiedystobyo9723 2 года назад

with the reverse gear i found that once i used the shifter for a pretty long time and the plastics and mechanisms have worn in, i see that when someone else is using the shifter they have a very hard time shifting into any gear. the best comment i got is that "it shifts like an old truck". But i have no problem with shifting.

@Timmies.2fiddy 2 года назад

I just picked mine up about a weeks gap and thought my shifter was broken for reverse as it took min 2 tries before it actually went. Glad to see it’s not just a broken product however still not very impressive
