Sequential shifter for simracing (DIY, homemade)

This is a shifter I have just finished. It was an interesting project. I use it with Fanatec GT3 RS wheel. It's mostly aluminium and lever is 28cm long (from central pivot). Gear knob is bought from eBay and springs are spare parts for rear drum brakes for Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda. I have tried different springs with different tensions, but wasn't satisfied with them.
The lever isn't easy nor hard to push/pull. It feels good to me. I was planning different switch for this shifter, just simple on-off-on switch, but I had problems with that switch and it was too loud so I choose two micro switches instead. There isn't any stopper, so you have to know how much push/pull. You can miss shift even with this solution. It can be pushed/pulled about 2,5-4cm.
And yes, I was inspired with Frex Shifter+. ;)

I like this very much. and since I want to build one by myself, yours is very helpful...have seen other shifters, but they are not strong enough, reliable...this is build to last ages ! and the best way to access the buttons. and its not hard at all to see what kind of parts you have used. guys.. just look in the video and you will know how this thing is build and what exact parts you need. and if one or two things are missing Im sure you will come up with something by yourself ! ;)

Very nice! I'm going to use this for a reference for my build!

I just got into sim racing, Dirt 2.0, and i soooooo need this. You should do a tutorial, sir!

@samc1u1i1 I found some parts from old electronic equipment in our garage. The gear knob is from ebay. A cheaper type with a few scratches, made in China.

Still some questions... Would u be so kind to make a list of all the material u have used and put it in the description or ur post on the ISR forum, so that everybody can see, many thanks :)

@J_SAMa 12 лет назад

And by "rod" i was referring to the lever, not the threaded ones :)

@cortkatanakx1q 11 лет назад

Sorry to reply that late. This new YT sucks! I didn't know that I have new replies. Those are just ordinary switches you can buy in every better store that sells electronic parts. I connect that shifter directly to my wheel, but you can hack cheap gamepad or buy some expensive module from Derek Speare. I made whole buttonbox with 16 buttons from old gamepad. I just soldered new buttons on the PCB. It required 100 Ohm resistors in series with every switch in my case to work correctly.

hey , you still alive? I need plans for this great shifter, can you help me ? thaaaanks

@cortkatanakx1q 12 лет назад

@samc1u1i1 No bearings, just graphite vaseline.

@cortkatanakx1q 12 лет назад

@samc1u1i1 Oh, then no vaseline then. It's just some kind of insulation tube for optic fibers.

@cortkatanakx1q 12 лет назад

@samc1u1i1 8mm in diameter with 6mm hole.

@chriscollins-reed8721 7 лет назад

would you be able to share the plans for the internals? You probably wont reply like the rest of youtubers but worth a go

@SwazNasty 10 лет назад

any chance of some plans for this? i'd love to build my own! i cant justify spending 300$ on a sequential shifter and this one looks just as solid as one of the big boys.

@J_SAMa 12 лет назад

Are there any bearings in the pivots or did u just put some vaseline on the rods?
