Before You RAGE QUIT FANATEC SQ and buy a SimVertex Shifter, Watch This! 

Thank you so much, appreciate it!

I haven't seen your sequential video yet but I'll definitely check it out, haha thanks for the support!

@@GTGREG Turned out to be a great video for all the wrong reasons...lol

@@GTGREG I made a short lubrication guide too since I had a request for it. Its best to take it apart to fully clean and lubricate the h-pattern but it can be done with just removing the side panels. Simvertex did a horrible job with their lubrication tutorial. They recommend people use wd40...lol

@@DouglasThompson gold is gold 😏 more people are gonna need that video in the long run, it'll live foreverrrrrrrr 😂

Thanks so much!

There's a 50-70 dollar aliexpress shifter that has a simple mechanism, but a really decent feel.

@@watersnortmoment3734 yeah, I think the one you're talking about was reviewed by SIM RACING CORNER? Looks nice for the money! 👍

if ya want quality look into frex h pattern. I have one and absolutely love it. designed w/ the porsche 962

@@blacknovella I'm designing & building my own H shifter right now; should be cheaper than the Simvertex one, have some neat features, but shifting 'feel' won't be as nice as the ProSim or this Simvertex one.

Not sure why the price is so high in your region. It costs around 400USD shipped to Hong Kong. For that price I think it's pretty unbeatable imo

Thanks a lot!

Thanks my guy! how are things? we need to catch up and find some striper this spring. Think i might invest some time in assateague this year.

probably for good reason :)

Does the frex have a centering force as well?

😁😁 I want the black version too, I guess if I want it bad enough I'll just take it apart and have it anodized. That fresh really looks interesting doesn't it. The shape of it is way off but if you can past that, I hear all good things. Not one negative comment, at least that I have seen

its so longgggggggggg

@UC9KyvQlL7cgnG03NPcqzbPw yes there is more travel for reasons you mentioned but I don't know how much the long shaft affects the throw feel versus the design of the shifter. What I mean by that is if the length was shortened by 25%, the throw should still be long due to the cutouts location for the balls to sit in. It's a complicated inquiry since I don't know the math (nor do I care to find out) for overall throw length by means of shaft modification vs, moving the ball notches closer to each other. I have an extensions for my prosim, but due to the design, the throw length doesn't feel dramatically different. I should have articulated that thought a little better, will try to be more clear next time.

Shipping was about 15 days if memory serves me. NOTE, I ordered mine from alibaba US shipper and there are many shipping options and prices out there for this shifter.

try and check the BDH one it looks seriously awesome, and its a good deal cheaper than the prosim.

haha, thanks man, one of my favorite t-shirts, cant remember where i got it from though :/. I think it was some annoying ad on IG LOL

I found a Store online now. Just bought one. This Ducktail Tshirts are so funny. I'm a huge Porsche and Duck Fan...so this Shirt was a must. Thank you for wearing it during your videos

I used it all, if you notice the blue tone to the rubber bushings, that is evidence of a previous lube effort by myself (3rd time). Although their website says specifically not to grease it, I still did it because the recommended method did not work. Either way, its mechanically flawed and needs some machining to function properly.

yea, buyer beware for sure!

I did actually spend quite a bit to get mine...I was desperate for an h-pattern after my Fanatec broke and I didnt want to buy another Fanatec. The frex was very nice but the extreme side to side action was off-putting to me.

@@DouglasThompson your video was helpful af for me, thx! I think as you mentioned in your video that this may be cast and I think that's the fundamental problem the tolerance levels are way off. The notch design in that shaft is perfect for an h pattern shifter and it does a really good job it's just a matter of getting those guide hole punches to be accurate and I think maybe it's due to casting flaws. Who knows

700€ lol nope

OMG, are you saying there is a shifter in existence that is not mounted to your rig?

Mine too🤣🤣

Did you watch the full video my guy?

@@GTGREG ok so i didnt lol i watched until you said thanks for watching and goodbye but wasnt aware it carried on lol. So you do mention it my bad. As you explained the issue lets hope they can fix it but have to wait and see becuase i really wanted this shifter to be great. sad but still hope.

@@Simlife101 ya man I'm really hopefully it'll get revised. It kinda seems that the chassis is cast alum, higher tolerance machining may help.

Massive difference on all fronts. This thing is a flaming piece of shit. The guy I gave it to sent me a pic of the handle broken off. Avoid at all costs

@@GTGREGthen better to stick to fanatec sq 1.5 shifter? kindly give me advice

@@gyujinyang2680 frex or pro sim, ProSim is amazing but lacks sequential function. Fanatec is RMA city or DIY fixing. Outside of that weird magnet issue, the fanatec is pretty damn good. The feel is ok but nothing compares to the ProSim. I'm gonna buy a frex when they are available and try it out.

@@GTGREG sorry for bothering but last question. 1. is prosim definitely better than frex? outside of price point. only point of view of feeling. 2. how do you think about bdh H shifter? I like fanatec shifter but the mis-shifting issue drives me crazy. I cannot bare it anymore. kindly advise me. Thank you in advance

$350 is the right price, $700 is the price i see now, I paid slightly less than that but its still overpriced by double and well, it dosent work, lol...its a paperweight (LITERALLY) for me now.

yo Chris, whats up?

If you're talking about in general, The Fanatec SQ LOVES to miss shift for literally zero reason. None at all. Once the issue starts happening it doesn't go away either. It's a $250 piece of garbage.

You still want to order this after the problems? If so, try ebay

Not yet, they are so hard to get and I think I missed the last batch. I'm eager to try it though.

@@GTGREG I've got one and it's nice. Very short shift but I've also ordered the BDH one I have linked for you.

@@colinbailey6236 😁😁 I'm gonna try them all! That bazooka rocket one looks to be pretty cool also. The BDH one looks very promising.

@@GTGREG I agree mate. I'm looking forward to getting the BDH one :) I'll let you know how it goes. Great channel btw dude!

@@colinbailey6236 that would be excellent and thanks, I really appreciate it!

I hate my fanatec shifter with a passion. It’s super easy to miss shift with it. I had tried so many different levels of resistance as well. Nothing helps.

Duly noted, I've recently ordered a sparco l999 for rally because I want to get into it. Good advice 👍🏾

Holy shit, I have a new one they sent me I'm finishing up reviewing. $1000 is a lot.

Good news, if it's fix and a working condition I'm probably going to do a giveaway again so definitely check out the next video..

@@GTGREG put me on top of that list 😂
