Just installed today. It takes quite a while to get to your home (live in South FL) but well worth it. Instant difference with the shifts. Each gear goes in securely and with a nice clack. The hardest step here is the actual replacement of the spring. Be careful that the spring connecting the 2 metal plates doesnt come off. If it does, youll have a hard time trying to put everything together again since the ball bearing comes off pretty easily. Overall, a 15-20 min job if you follow this video and a major improvement to your shifter.

Appreciate this comment.

[@dayan305]

How long it took to deliver?

[@user-ny7jq9ht4s]

Bro can you tell me that what type of spring it is and where I will get it any details

[@donutt64]

If only I'd read some of the comments about NOT testing BEFORE finishing re-assembly! Thought it wasn't going to work, but it needs the top case in place before the ball stays put. SO anyone as daft as me - please just follow the instructions in the video - DO NOT TEST till you've finished! And you'll love it. It's transformed the shifter from toy to something much more realistic. Thanks again.

[@Ritchstorm]

Same for me. Do not test until you have put the 6 screws back in otherwise the ball jumps out! Once those 6 are back in place it was fine for me to test.

[@coreyradloff3368]

i just did tested it without putting all the screws back in 😑😑

[@darkmoon5077]

Just got it in the mail today. Super easy to put in. Super improvement to the stock feel. Nice to feel resistance when trying to go into neutral then into the next gear. It's a must have. Just buy it. Won't regret it.

I ordered this mod last week and i got it delivered yesterday to my Canada address. it was a bit hard to put together and I had to couple and decoupled it for at least for times for my gear positions to work properly. I was so nervous not to ruin my shifter. At the end it was an awesome experience to breathe a new life to my shifter. this mod is small but mighty in result. I would recommend

[@28thEQUINOX]

I made a diy version of this mod, just took one of the bolts from the metal clamp thing and put it behind the spring. works surprisingly well

[@BazingaIII]

Which bolts do you mean, cause I'd be curious to try this?

[@28thEQUINOX]

@@BazingaIII see the one they unscrew at 1:37 one of those middle ones

[@luismedeiros]

Did the same, works better than this "mod" .Tried to installed, but it was a bit disapointing, its just to stiff comparing to the original spring, and the ball bearing just bounce off the shifter, works better the "screw mod".

[@sebadioli2665]

Very cool, i will try this too! Btw, what do you mean with "behind the spring" precisely?

[@28thEQUINOX]

so you put the screw in the hole first then the spring

[@WeeManWTF2]

great idea! i personally used Fuel tubing for nitro rc cars to make my spacer. it fits perfectly. and you can tune length/ strength to your liking.

[@Thenormalguy_real_one]

Hey I also have nitro cars and fuel lines. Could you please explain what you mean by tune the strength/ length?

[@WeeManWTF2]

@@Thenormalguy_real_one In this video he is using a solid 3d printed part that simulates a very tough spring. So I did a similar thing, matched up the stock spring with a piece of the fuel tubing and made it a bit longer. If it was too stiff to shift, I'd cut some off, and if it was too short, I'd make a slightly longer piece.

[@Thenormalguy_real_one]

@@WeeManWTF2 no way that’s sick and really smart. Well I just bought the part and I hope it does a good job

[@MotmoRacing]

I don't even have a wheel (planning to get a G920 soon) and I wanna buy this already. Lmao great job, so simple yet effective. Love how it keeps everything looking stock.

[@luisbaez9278]

Wanted to love this per other users. Attempted it twice but even after it was put together, the bearing would pop out when shifting. Made sure the concave portion was where the bearing was. Still no joy. Put the original spring back and all is back to normal. The base of the 3D printed piece is slanted so this could be the issue giving the bearing too much pressure against the metal plate. Will try to file it and attempt again. As is, it is super hard to move. No flexibility in the piece as there should be or it is just not the size it needs to be. Glad it worked for others.

[@customsimshop]

We are sorry to hear that. Did you add some grease for the bearing to move easier on the metal plate. There is a lot of added friction for the metal ball to move on the metal plate, so adding grease is required for it to work smoothly. If for some reason it still keeps popping out, then just cut 2 layers of rubber off the end of the spring, which should be enough to reduce the resistance enough to work properly. We haven't had these issues ourselves and we have tested these mods on tens of different shifters with even stiffer springs and haven't had the ball bearing to pop out before, so we are unsure why you are having problems with it.

[@cmf487]

I'm having the same issue. Bearing won't stay in even with dielectric grease

[@GNatanielG]

​@cmf487 did you sort this issue out?

[@johnshima01]

Word of warning: I installed but now I can only get 5th gear or reverse, everything went together fine so i'm confused.... So I took it apart to check and noticed the 2 small red and yellow wires got cut by mistake when i re-assembled it. My mistake, not the product, but be double careful and check all wires are 100% away from screw holes.

[@cmsimerson]

Just installed today the install was really easy actually pretty fun it took forever to get to the US I live in cali but who cares. The shifter feels really nice now I added grease like the vid said and in my opinion the shifter should’ve came like this. Good product

[@FirssenSimracing]

Finnaly someone done it properly, not a copy of 3Drap.it trash idea but u know that the G25 shifter have a bit different mechanism and spring hole is bigger? :P

[@customsimshop]

Thank you Firssen Simracing🙏 Developing these, we wanted to design something, that would be easy to change and cheap to buy. But thanks for the info about the G25, we have to look into it now. Unfortunately we haven't realised, that a G25 mechanism is different as we haven't installed it on that shifter yet, but visually looked the same, when we took it apart.

Didn’t receive mine it’s been 8 weeks 🤨

[@davidkennedy7549]

So... I should have read the comments below before installing today. I tried to test it before completely re-assembling the shifter and the ball bearing shot out three times! I tried filing some of the new "spring" down, but it still shot out. I eventually cut about 1/4" off the flat end and used it under the original spring as a pre-loader--which seems to work great, added maybe twice the resistance but doesn't feel notchy. So I suppose if you re-assemble the whole shifter before testing it adds enough rigidity to the unit to retain the ball bearing...but boy would one be pissed off if the ball bearing shot out after a full re-assembly! I also added at the same time the G-mod open H patten with magnets and Gmod shift knob...just tested at Laguna in Project Cars 2 in an Boss 302....shifts and feels fantastic! So didn't quite use as the Custom Sim shop intended but turned out great. Custom Sim Shop, but a note, or voice over in the video for folks not to test until fully put back together!

[@hughs8447]

Great mod! Though I recommend cutting a very small amount of the rubber spring off (about 1/5 the diameter of the ball) as the spring is WAY too stiff if you don't do this. But perhaps after you wear it in it will be better.

[@CrissisJoe412]

It makes a huge difference, thank you! I did not put extra oil like you did at 3:29. Is that problem? The shifter is brand new so it was oily in there.

[@XxAfroThundaxX]

So I decided to see what's inside my logitech shift so I took it apart and saw that 1 of the screws were the same size as that hole where the spring goes. Decided the screw was not needed so I just put the screw in behind the spring and it stiffens it up alot. Definitely going to take apart again and add another to strengthen the feel more but basically its just like the pedals, add spacer and it increases resistance. Good mod tho. Probably would have bought but live in florida so I didn't want to wait for it to ship lol.

[@Max.44]

This is a great idea. I just installed this mod and to be honest it is quite disappointing for me. Replacing the feather with their plastic stick makes it very clunky and extremely loud. You will annoy anyone who lives in the same house while using this. I think I will take it apart again cut this plastic stick in half and put it with the original feather back in

I just bought this. Seriously, it's the best mod for this shifter. If you're comfortable with a screwdriver this is really easy to do. I added a weighted shift knob to counter the stiffness, plus rare earth magnets at the 6 positions for a crisper shift. Now I have a shifter that feels very close to "real". Keep in mind there is no actual transmission connected to the shifter so it's more like shift practice when the car is off. Very, very nice mod. Buy it or print one yourself, it's definitely worth it.

[@fpsalien]

So I got the G29 shifter as a add on to my G920, having a shifter is a must. I saw this video and was like screw it I'm gonna order this little "Mod" more like heavenly angel. It took from Aug 24th to Sep 19th to get here, so it actually came before it was supposed to, shipping said 14 - 35 business days. So this little piece makes the G29 go from weak and toyish to real and firm like my old 2001 Honda Civic. No joke and it brings back memories. I HIGHLY recommend this as a add on or mod.. I also put some lube on the little ball, it had some already and would have probably sufficed but I put a little extra for good measure.

Second it was easy to install for the most part only thing is that the bottom spring that holds the white thing together is a bitch and a lot harder than he made it look especially with the ball. Third it’s great product it made the shifter feel like my 2020 civic si and it’s great.

Ok I just installed this mod and it's *freaking amazing.* Just don't try to test the shifter mid-install before you screw *everything* back in. I was a dumbass and was too excited to try it out but it wasn't held in tight enough so the ball bearing slid out of place, causing me to take it all apart again to redo it (which is a pain when the ball keeps falling out of place, and messy if you get your hands greasy). But after it's all put together, the shifter feels so much more realistic and IMO completely craps all over the other expensive af 3d printed fragile crap (you know which popular mod I'm talking about). I don't foresee this mod ever wearing down because it's just a piece of plastic that pushes against a ball so there's very little movement/friction. It will probably last the life of the shifter itself.

So the easiest method would be: 1. Install the replacement spring 2. Install the 6 screws that hold the metal plates in place 3. Add extra grease on the metal plate where the ball bearing moves against for a smoother movement 4. Don't try the shifter operation before you have re-installed all the plastic casing screws, as that gives the shifter move rigidity and the ball bearing won't pop out then. Some people have tried the operation before putting ALL the screws back in, causing the ball bearing to pop out. Hope this relieves your stress a bit and you'll be able to enjoy the improved shifter😁

I've got it just yesterday, and it's freaking awsome! Now the shifter isn't linear as it was before the mod, and the additional load is also quite benefitial. Thanks guys for your brilliant work ;) It was worth those 10 bucks :) Delivery was quite long though, but it's not the seller fault.

@@customsimshop I'm back with another set of thoughts. After a week, i've noticed that the mod gets weaker (or it's only a feeling).

[@Brozi]

@@customsimshop is it possible, that it just got weaker, or i got used to it?

[@customsimshop]

@@Brozi more than likely, you get used to it. It may lose a percent or two of the force, once worn in, but we haven't noticed much of a loss so far.

Thx for this little thing!!! But, in a brand new logi shifter ist was 0.3 - 0,5mm to long! it was to hart to shift! but i cut it with a hot Knife and it works perfect!! greetz from Germany! ;-)

From my experience... Make sure to apply bunch of grease on and around the tiny metal ball. If too much friction, it pops out.

[@outonroad]

What cars are you guys driving in real life! The stock G29 shifter is very weak, agreed, and feels very inaccurate during the change but man, I don't need 2kg of force to shift gear in my real car and I have a short shift on my Ford Focus ST. I'd be rather pissed if my real car took this effort! I would say a kg or so would be plenty.

[@pizzadriver]

REVIEW AFTER 3 MONTHS: So first of all, the product took 2-2,5 weeks to arrive i think, which is really good considering how cheap the worldwide shipping is and that it came from Australia to Europe (Germany). The installation was a bit complicated but the video assisted me very well and after a couple of hickups i got it all working after ~2h. At first it felt a little too stiff, but that was only because i was still used to the cheap toy'ish feel of the default shifter. After 3 months of using the modded shifter i tried a default shifter for the first time again today and it literally felt like nothing - thin air. This mod feels extremely amazing especially comparing it to the default shifter, it is really worlds apart! And for the price & cheap shipping it is a must buy for everybody who is willing to spend 1-2h and 8€ on their shifter to make it feel worlds better! :) More than happy with it! Just 1 thing is that I had to screw it to the desk very, very hard in order for it to not get lose, but once that was done it never moved a bit & felt amazing at all times ^^ Thank you for making this amazing product!

I just installed mine. It is amazing and i love it. It took me a while to install at first because i didn’t wanna screw it up. I already had an upgraded h pattern piece installed and it wasnt a big difference than the stock one Logitech came with and i removed it and added the plastic 3d item. It feels so close to a manual as it grips into and out of the gears. Thank you great product.

Hi there, did you receive the “item shipped” email? I paid yesterday only got an order confirmation email.

[@888PsyMike888]

Ok, so I ordered this modification and it's an improvement. Took about 3 weeks to arrive. I made the rubber a tiny bit shorter to make the shifting a little less stiff. Luckily an extra rubber was sent, so I'll have a spare one in its original size. Thanks for this tutorial.

[@customsimshop]

Thanks for the feedback Mike, much appreciated🙏 And it's good to hear, that you can adjust the stiffness, by trimming the lenght of the rubber spring, to adjust it to your liking, as people have different preferences.

Will it work with g27 without any problem?

[@customsimshop]

These will work with on a G27 shifter without any issues. You can check out our other video, where one of Western Australias gaming arcade has been using 2 of our shifter kits on their simulators for about 6 months now. Link for the video -------------->>>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKXWYptrerCbrq8

[@NextInLine008]

Can this be combined with the cambio 3.5 from 3DRap?

[@firewatcher]

Yes!

[@Max.44]

Just plug and play does not work with this for me. The plastic stick creates a massive resistance with nothing once it is overcome, resulting in a very klunky experience where it is difficult to put it in neutral and smooth gear changes wont be possible only very aggressive ones. Also, it makes a very, very loud broken sounding noise when shifting gears. If anyone lives in the same building as you, you will annoy them with this. I will take the shifter apart cut this mod in half and put it back in with the original spring. Maybe that will be better. Just write a comment under this if you are interested whether that solution works better.

[@customsimshop]

Did you add some grease on the metal plate where the ball bearing moves? It does make a pretty significant change in the operstion and sound of the shifter.

[@Max.44]

@@customsimshop Thanks for the reply. Yes I added grease but it was just too stiff and abrubt with the pin alone for me. I now use the original spring with about 1/4 of the pin which makes the force to change gears more progressive. Sounds like a gated manual now, which works nicely!

[@trailswithtyler7427]

@@Max.44 how realistic is it though?

[@Max.44]

@@trailswithtyler7427 Wouldn't say it really feels more realistic, it is still just one single pressure point compared to a real gear change just with a better feeling resistance.

Yeah, I'm planning the same thing. I'm just preparing to buy the G29 and the shifter, but I don't have them yet, but when they arrive - oh boy, will I have some modding to do :D

[@pfunkle]

Does anyone happen to know the diameter of the spring/hole the spring goes in? You could technically just put a small object in the hole so the stock spring is compressed, right? Or does that not work?

[@pfunkle]

I opened mine and found the spring is 0.5mm in diameter. Meaning you could just pop a small object in the hole (not too tall or it will be too stiff). I tried another commenter's solution of using one of the screws, but I also added some small circles I cut out of a thick rubber band. I should have just went with the screw, because this is sooooo stiff 😂 accompanied by a loud THWACK every time I shift. Lol so anyway, just the screw by itself is likely plenty. The hardest part of the whole thing is getting all the screws out!! The screws buried deep were annoying.

[@govindersingh3058]

which side of thespring does it go on/ thanks@@pfunkle

[@pfunkle]

@@govindersingh3058 Put the screw on the inside (head down) and place the spring over it; the spring holds the screw in place.

[@pizzadriver]

So it finally arrived to Germany after 3 weeks & 2 days. I've never dissembled my shifter before so it was a great thing to follow this video 1:1. It still took me ~2h in total as I struggled with the part of putting the very inner parts back together. I eventually made it tho, got it all back together and it really works great! My only concern about this mod is that I literally have to use a pipe wrench to tighten my shifter to the desk because it is so strong that it would move around after a couple shits already. The mod / modded shifter itself feels very, very strong and makes it feel so much less like a toy! You actually need quite some force now, personally I think it should be just a liiiiiittle bit less stiff but I don't I want to dissemble it again just to make the rubber a tiny bit shorter. As I've said, feels much better than the original spring, can only recommend it, but also suggest it for the use on a playseat. I think it will last very long as the part just replaces a default one and shouldn't show any wear. Will see how it is in a few weeks, but so far it is amazing! Cheers

[@customsimshop]

Really appreciate your thorough feedback about the installation and feel. Thank you👌 Regarding the shifter tightening part, then if you would add some double-sided tape, or some rubber pads under the shifter, then that may hold the shifter in it's place better and won't have to make the spring shorter.

[@pizzadriver]

@@customsimshop Thanks for the answer, I will not make the spring shorter i think, I am happy with the result! ^^ I will have a look at the suggestion with the tape / rubber pads! Cheers

@ninjagats the shifter needs to be fully assembled for that not to happen as the casing gives the extra rigidity it needs. Some additional grease needs to be used on the metal plate for tha ball to be able to move smoother also.
