Has anyone here ever installed the optional shift button kit on a TSW Sport Wheel? I'm interested in adding the buttons to enable the look left/right feature in GPL. However, everything I've read indicates that soldering is involved. Exactly what gets soldered? If it's the buttons to the wheel, can't they just be taped on with duct tape or something? I'm not too handy (obviously) and don't wnat to solder if it's not necessary. Thanks!

most likely its the desoldering of the wires from the normal shifter and then resoldering em to the buttons for the "paddles". If you need some tips on how to solder email me and I'll give you a couple. Good Luck Hans

Then, exactly what needs soldering?

> Then, exactly what needs soldering? The only thing needing soldering is the wires to the back of the buttons themselves, all else is direct plugging in.
