When I started to have this issue and found your video, I was skeptic and didn't try it out immediately. Only once fanatec said that I would need to ship over the shifter just for having a cost estimation for repair, I decided to give it a try. And... it worked like charms! Thank you very much for publishing this video. The issue is clearly due to lubricant migrating to the small electronic board causing short circuits. This is a severe design mistake of which fanatec must be aware of. Asking customers like me to ship over the shifter just to avoid admitting that they did a mistake is simply scandalous.

5 Years later and still this is the only video that helped me with the issue, its simpler than it seems, what I struggled a bit was where to put the non contact tape, as the camera is far out, but with your comments everything was clear. Not being a tech guy I just dove into it, and even I could do it under an hour, taking all the time in the world. A simple less than an hour fix that helped almost 2 years of misshifts

Can 100% confirm this worked. Had issues with 5th and 3rd gear so added the tape to the board that didn't have any. Fixed that issue. Also had a problem with 1st gear registering as reverse if the shifter was pushed full stop left and up (not pressing down). I removed the other circuit board (the one that already had tape applied) removed the old tape and applied new tape covering the entire board (even the small moon shaped hole at the edge). Fixed. Thank you! You saved me much hastle getting ahold of Fanatec. Edit: The tape fix did not fix the 1st and reverse issue. It did help in the sense that it takes more force to the left to make it register reverse. Any ideas from anyone? I have contacted Fanatec support so we'll see. Edit 2: So I figured it out. I needed to adjust that cylindrical magnet to the right of center. This fixed the reverse/1st issue. This was a flaw in the manufacture of the circuit board I'm assuming.

The missed shift fiasco killed me. I was running a close race and in 1st place. It was the 2nd to last lap the shifter would not go into 3rd gear. I was hard on the brakes because a turn was coming. Finally, it goes into gear, I let out the clutch and a CRY!! The damn shifter sent me into a tailspin because it went into, REVERSE!, and not 3rd. There went my fate with a problem shifter and my chance of winning the race. I will try this because that wasn't the first time it missed shifted. However, it was the 1st time that it had cost me the possibility of winning 1st place. * I weep* As I thank you for posting your findings.

Hi! Thank you very much for this workaround! I write in italian for all italian Fanatec buyers with this problem: la basetta elettronica con il sensore Hall che misura lo spostamento orizzontale si bagna con il lubrificante del meccanismo e questo probabimente altera la rilevazione del campo magnetico generato dal magnete che si muove quando la leva si sposta a destra e sinistra (marce R,1,3,5,7 e 2,4,6), quindi la soluzione sarebbe quella di rivestire il retro della basetta con nastro isolante come l'altra basetta che registra il movimento verticale. Una volta applicato il nastro isolante occorre ricreare i fori per le viti, io ho usato semplicemente la punta di una fobice per creare un piccolo foro nel quale si infila la vite. Per ora sembra funzionare bene, senza sbagliare una marcia. Grazie ancora a 20ld4Forza! ;)

IT WORKS! After having issues with this for months, several blown engines, spins into walls... and a lot of expletives, I finally found this video. I grabbed my tools, followed your directions, and in about 15-20 minutes I had it back together. Now, about 30 test laps later, I'm certain it's working perfectly now. This would have been the THIRD Fanatec product I would have had to RMA. So glad I won't have to go through that process again. BTW, I used needle-nose pliers to carefully remove the small plug so it would be easier to remove the PCB/Hall Sensor. There is some glue, but if you're careful, it easily cracks and releases the plug.

Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU! This man is correct! Worked for me. Bought a pre-owned Fanatec sim and I suspect that the last owner didn’t use it much due to never resolving this MANUFACTURER defect. All you have to do is unscrew the top four bolts, unplug the wire running to the bottom (optional but highly recommended), take off the two 2.5mm bolts for the RJ12 port and slightly push to the side, unscrew four 2mm bolts of the motherboard that is directly corresponding with the RJ12 port and install electrical tape on BACKSIDE of motherboard. I personally cut the corners off the tape prior to even putting it on to allow free access for the bolts to come back through (no hot stuff near my electronics, no thank you). Everything in reverse to assemble.

This fixed my problem. I had a similar missed-shift issue where third gear would sometimes (1 in 20) register as either first or reverse gear. This obviously screws up any race you happen to be in. This fix took all of ten minutes and I have not had a single missed shift after the fix. Amazing. Fanatec should take note of this and send 2Old4Forza some free gear.

Had issues with my shifter from the very first day i set it up. After hours of trying i just tried to work around it in races but it was killing my races. So i got in touch with Fanatec and they wanted me to video the issue, so i did, i recorded game play but they said that was not what they wanted, they wanted me to record me calibrating the shifter, so again, i did what they asked and got zero feed back from them. The cost of the shifter plus the cost of shipping it back, i just left it and never used it. Then i wanted to get back into it, and searched KZbin, found your video and thought, it cannot be that simple, well, it is. Done the tape, loaded up Assetto Corsa and it has not missed a shift at all. Fanatec should be ashamed, premium product that has a well known fault, you do nothing while a KZbinr fixed your issue with tape. Great video, thank you very much.

I went into my shifter to do this fix, and while I'm not sure the tape really does anything, I did still apply it. However, what I thought was likely the cause for me was several small metal chips that were caught in the grease around the magnet and bearing. Since my shifter would calibrate fine and stay calibrated unless I used it a lot, where it would just randomly go out of calibration, I imagine these little shards of metal were occasionally moving around and interfering with the hall effect sensor. I cleaned all of it up as much as I could, and also applied some hot glue to bridge the gaps next to the sensor board to prevent any more pieces of metal getting into that area. Hopefully this helps some others fix their issues!

Like a previous commenter, I to was a skeptic when I first saw this video about a year ago, to the point I didn't give the video a second thought. Back then my shifter was usable but just a neusence. I recenty started using my shifter again and the problem got progressivly worse to where it was basiclly unusable. A google search of the problem and your video was the first to show up so I took it as a sign. Within 20 mins I had the problem fixed and I didn't even need to recalibrate my shifter, just plugged it in and it worked first go. Such a simple fix for such a supposedly high-end peice of hardware. Amazing. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts and of re-taping will again solve the issue. But until then, I'm going to enjoy my shifter again frustration free. Thank you.

That is awesome mate, I was having this issue and it was driving me mad, thanks so much for the video. Before applying your fix I just mapped both 3rd and Reverse to 3rd in the game, mapped 7th to reverse. This also worked but pretty shitty experience, having to apply that type of workaround for a consumer product. Shame Fanatec take 10000 years to respond to support questions, or even that their product requires customers to pull apart and apply electrical tape to fix their garbage design and make it reliable.

If the contact with the metal of the hall sensor was making this to fail, I also put electric tape between the screw and the sensor, and as you told us, between the hall sensor and the plate. I try it for about 30 minutes, never failed. I was without any hope, but it worked. I bought this shifter back on sept, after 2 months of use it starts failing. Fanatec sent me a RMA, but I bought this in US and I live outside the US so the shipping was a nightmare, I ask for directions on how to diagnose it under my responsibility, and no answer at all. THANKS, A LOT By the way.. this shifter used to fail almost 10 out of 10 times... so after 30 minutes of working without any problem... this for sure solved it

For anyone having this issue from the start...you need to get to the magnet and slide the magnet to the right a few mm. Mine was centered. The magnet needed to be off center on the right and now I'm all set. This has to be a QC issue with the PCB alignment or the alignment of the bearing the magnet sits inside of. It took me probably 15 adjustments to get it perfect.

Be careful....I use a can....make sure you get the moisture buildup in the can and straw clear before you spray the air. I've been wondering if a dust boot around the shift shaft might help. This air spraying will be periodic maintenance to be performed on the shifter and always re-calibrate afterwards.

I bought the shifter new about five months ago and it is still covered by warranty, but the cost of shipping and the taxes to get it back in my country are almost the cost of a new shifter, so I followed your tip. The magnet was perfectly aligned btw. Just finished assembling it back, calibrated it and for now seams to have solved the problem. Thank you.

sadly; a month or so after this fix, the problem persisted. reapplied the fix, lasted another month. i've only had this shifter a year. so fed up. might just buy a different brand even though all the rest my kit is fanatec. seems too likely i'd end up with another defective unit if i bought again...damnit

I added tape but just stopped mine short of the holes as I didn't want to do the burning thing, also checked all connections reset them all, magnet was fine, shifter now works perfectly again.

Hi, Just tried this (and it worked!!!) with a slight variation. The sensor already had some electrical tape on it but it was folder around the side of the board such at that it was stopping the board sitting right up against the 2 small mounting stops. I removed this covering of tape and replaced it with a smaller piece just covering the back of the board where there could be contact between the board and the magnet but ensuring that there was none between the body of the shifter and the board (therefore ensuring the closest fit to the body. Looking at the position of the magnet and the sensors on the board, I think the position of the board is critical so anything that alters its mounting position could cause and issue. Thank you for posting, it has solved a very frustrating problem!

Definitely gonna try this, i can tell you how many times I’ve had poor finishes from these shifters. I own three, plus i converted my first shifter 1.0v to a 1.5v. ($60 extra from Fanatec) My last race tonight near the end i almost went crazy because the shifter was doing that crazy shifting. Thanks for the info man.

Thank you so much, mate, I'm again in love with my shifter :) I found some metal grains next to the magnet, maybe it was enough to clean them, but I made the isolation the same ... and now everything works great. A coffee buyed for you! :D Thanks ;)

​ My Fanatec gearbox worked without a problem, a few days ago it started to fail, when I engage gear 1 it enters R, if I engage gear 2 it flashes between 1 and 2 constantly. I have tried everything I have seen on KZbin: 1: open the gearbox, clean the two plates with isoprolytic alcohol. 2: put insulating tape behind the plates. 3: check that the magnet is centered. 4: change the rj12 cable. 5: isolate chais with ground connection. Well today I realized what caused my error in the change. This is simply when starting the EA WRC game, then even if you close the game it is already uncalibrated and with false positives. If I do not start this game, the change does not cause false positives, verified with a fanatec program on another monitor. I have updated the program to its latest version 4.55 the firmware of the change is 1.12 From what I deduce that many users do not know why the change fails over time, in my case it has been this and I don't know how to solve it, I already deleted everything related to this game and I have reinstalled having the same problem.

Damn...I just bought a new one because my old V1.5 was doing this. It actually started doing it in the first month after I bought it. They fixed it, it worked for 6 months then started doing it again. Then Fanatec said it was static on my rig and told me to ground it. I kinda put it away for a few month cause I knew that wasn’t the problem. Then I brought it back out and tried grounding it and that did nothing. I contacted Fanatec and they said I could send it to them and have it repaired at my own expense..I just bought another one and it works great. I probably shouldn’t have bought the DD2 from them after that experience. We’ll see.

Thought I'd come back 6 months on from fixing the issue thanks to this video... 2 weeks ago I put my phone down right next to the shifter which I never do and what do you know... my problem came back worse than ever and was still there with it in my pocket... so if you haven't tried it already, before you tear your shifter apart; throw your phone over the other side of the room and see if it works!
