Fix for G25 shifter?

I have owned two Logitech G25 wheels, and both have ended up with the same problem. After approximately 9 months (very careful) use the sequential shift starts playing up. When I attempt to change gears (push lever forward) the unit changes two gears instead of one. This starts off happening about every 50 gear changes, and slowly gets more frequent. As you can imagine this gets very frustrating as the car locks up the rear wheels and tries to spin. BTW I almost exclusively play GTR2 with my G25, although I'm sure it is not a problem with the software. Does anyone know of a website explaining (with pictures?) how to fix this problem? I assume it is a problem with one of the switches in the gear shifter. The H-pattern gear change still works fine, although I don't use the H-pattern much (GTL). Sequential gear change enables me to go down the gears much quicker than the H-pattern or paddles. I use my wheel/pedals/gears about 40 hours per month, which I don't think is excessive, and do not wish to have to buy a new G25 unit every 9 months. I am very careful with my G25, and do not let anyone else use the unit. When I have returned the unit (under warranty) the retailer has had the unit for about four weeks, and returned it saying their is nothing wrong with the unit! The problem is still there, except the shifter is more 'sloppy' upon return! Any help or advice would be VERY much appreciated. TIA. RocketMan.

Can't help with your specific problem. But the shifter uses axis not buttons. But I'm interested in hoe the sequential is faster than the paddles. Surely they should be the same?

See my earlier post titled "relief from terror". Sounds like it might be the same problem. If you're handy with a screwdriver and don't break things when you open them up, it's the best solution. Otherwise get someone who doesn't.

Thanks for the heads-up. The sequential shift is faster for me, as there is less travel on the shifter. As you have to wait for the paddle or shift lever to return to it's starting position before being able to select the next gear, the almost nil travel of the shift lever is quicker. The paddles (on my G25s anyway) have quite a bit of travel before they even change gear. I hope I'm not missing anything here. :) RocketMan. David Fisher's Left Testicle wrote:

Thanks for the advice, APLer. I have some CRC 2-26. That would be good to clean the contacts with, aye? RocketMan. APLer wrote:

Interesting, as my paddles have way less travel then the shifter lever. The paddles have about an 8th of an inch and the shifter an inch on my wheel.

Hello Rocketman, in rF there is a setting in the PLR file that might help you given that gtr2 and rF stem use the gMotor2 engine: Repeat Shifts="0" // 0 = no repeat shift detection, 1 = detect and eliminate accidental repeat shifts within 100ms, 2 = 150ms, 3 = 200ms, 4 = 250ms, 5 = prevent shifting again before previous shift is completed This might help with preventing future double downshifts. All the best & HTH, Uwe --

Thanks very much, Uwe! I'll definitely have to try that when I finish work!! RocketMan. hoover wrote:

I was having the dreaded reverse problem on the G25 so I wend on Ebay to purchase an extra shifter and found this. http://cgi.ebay.com/Lot-of-5-Logitech-G25-Replacement-Shifter-Modules_W0QQitemZ260365565348QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games_Accessories?hash=item260365565348&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72:1205|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50 I ended up buying a lot of 5 new shifters for $99 free shipping. I purchased the 5 so I can create a couple of cockpits one for me and the other for my son. and sell 1 or 2 of the remaining. I haven't received them yet but will follow up on this post to let everyone know how they worked. So rocketman the way you go through shifters buying a lot of 5 may be a solution. I think it would be very difficult to find the actual switches to replace the defective ones although its probably not impossible. Just a suggestion.

Definitely worth looking at...although it only has delivery to the US. I'm in New Zealand. :( Maybe it's time to speak nicely to a friend in the States! :) Thanks very much for the heads-up, Movnmik. RocketMan. Movnmik wrote:

Hey Rocket, I'm interested in 1 of the 5 in the batch, as a spare for myself. So I might just buy them. and would be more willing to "risk" LOL, sending to you in nz, if you have PayPal. & that is if you will buy the 4 of 5 of them? AND shipping to NZ of course. and get me some instructions on how to get them to you. or if your friend and you could spare one, same deal, Ill pay for 1 of the 5 and the shipping from him to me. seems to be $20 us dollars each. sting32 of the mail of Google, if you think this might work?

If the retailer is reluctant to replace a clearly faulty unit under warranty, you can contact Logitech directly either by phone or through their website. They can send you new wheel. I got a replacement delivered to my door in about a week. - jussi -

I just received the shifters today. There is very minor cosmetic issues with them, some small nicks, scratches and the like but still worth the $20/each. Since I received them at work I am unable to test them. Once I do, I will let everyone know the results. I will probably be reselling 2 or 3 of the shifters that I just received and the shifter I currently use (this one has a reverse issue - doesn't go into reverse).

I didn't explain myself properly... When I returned the unit to the retailer complaining about the gear shift, the reason it took four weeks was that they had to send the whole unit (wheel, pedals, shifter) back to Logitech. Logitech were the people that told me that there was nothing wrong with the unit!! :( RocketMan. Jussi Koukku wrote:

Firstly, thanks for all the advice, guys! Much appreciated. Currently I am going with Uwe's idea, but will definitely look at opening up the unit and investigating fixing the problem more permanently. Still thinking about purchasing the five shifters as well... When I looked at my profile's PLR file there was no reference to 'Repeat Shifts', so I just added it after the other gear references. Repeat Shifts="5" works just fine! Although I can still 'feel' the gear shift occasionally miss the next gear, so a more permanent solution will possibly be required. RocketMan. RocketMan wrote:

I also added the repeat shifts line to my player file in GTR2 but when I checked later it was gone and I still had the same problem. I tried several times but it always disappeared. Has it stayed in your player file? Tony

I was able to test 3 of the 5 shifters and they work with no problems at all. I'm feeling the other shifters will be fine as well. I hope to test them in the next day or so. With that being said, I would recommend buying them if you know others that would benefit as well. Once I do test the remaining two and confirm that they work. I will be selling three shifters (two from the five I just purchased and my original shifter that has the reverse problem) I will be selling the new shifters for $20/each + actual shipping and handling. If I need to get a box I may add $1. I'm not looking to make any money from this just don't want to lose any money. The old shifter I will be selling for $12 + actual shipping and handling (Since the reverse doesn't work). Just let me know if anyone is interested.

I want to clarify my last post. I recommend buying the lot of 5 off of Ebay if you know that you can distribute them (I am not related to the Ebay seller in any way, shape or form). If you just need one or two then you might consider buying from me. Rocketman, since you originated the post I will give you first dibs if you need the one's i'm selling. Just let me know.

Thanks very much for the offer, Movnmik. Sorry about the delay in replying. I have had no probs since changing my PLR file - in GTR2, at least anyway. The shifters seem such a bargain, that I think I will buy 5 from Ebay as well, just as a backup. With five new shifters I will have 4 more years of G25 use if the same problem reoccurs. Thanks very much for your offer and advice. RocketMan. Movnmik wrote:

RocketMan, Sounds like a plan. I agree, 5 shifters for $100 is a bargain hence the purchase - even if I can't sell them I always have spares. Its nice to now have a shifter that the reverse works. On May 11, 3:04 pm, RocketMan <[email hidden]> wrote:

Sorry, I can't help myself... Reverse??! Aren't you supposed to be going forward? :D You should only need reverse if you crash! :D RocketMan Just a joke, of course. :) Movnmik wrote: > RocketMan, > > Sounds like a plan.
