  • I am getting my G25 in a couple of days ! cant wait to mod it :D

  • Plz get a supply of the o rings and spacers and sell them on eBay ;) £££££

    I can't find or don't even know where to start looking and if I find it I can't check it's the right size without taking it apart :(

  • ANOTHER MOD: Anyone, who wants to silent the shifter, replace the metal ball ( at 2:45 ) with a plastic one. Then apply a lot of grease on it to make it slippery. The shifter will move a lot smoother, but it feels good to me. And its silent. You can find the right plastic balls for example in airsoft guns.

    I did this to mine a year ago and its perfect.

  • is it possible to o this with the g27

  • can u do it for the g27

  • Very well made instructional video..... If I had a G25, I would be pulling it apart right now ; )

  • @KwiKxxxKiwI

    Exactly why your parents wouldn't buy you one.

    Check the disclaimer, is it worth destroying your favourite toy, just for it to feel that little bit better changing gear? Heck no!

  • @sorryunlucky

    Heck yes - If it it improves it then definitely worth the risk... If everyone thought that way there would be no modified cars etc....

    Also I have a G27 but if I had a G25 and I didn't like the way it worked then apart it would come...

  • i have a problem with my steering wheel and the game

    when i turn my steering wheel a few degrees,the wheel in the game from the pilot

    start to blinks or make shorts movements to both sides but short ones.Is very unconfortable to race like that a f1 car cause you need details,and when you move try to move the steering wheel smoothly the wheel in tha game make agressive moves,is tha game or my wheel?

  • @serchmarc If it's while your driving on F1 2011, go onto your wheel options and find the option steering deadzone. I find that having the deadzone on 2-5% will keep the wheel straight, while not making turning difficult

  • @TheWillpeace You know isnot an options game solution,is not like that

    cause the wheel didnt give me this problem before and now is different so i tested with another game like GRID and is the same problem,is like inside the wheel or the turn dispositive is making a false contact.

  • You are great mate, thanks for your work.

    Greetings from Spain!

  • Good video. Just take your time. Follow all instructions and you should have no problems. I even improvised a home made spacer and o rings. Good luck

  • @chilicoke hey i have a big problem when i go to the 3rd gear it says its the first when i go to the 5th gear it says its the 1st too so ? I think its the spring in 3:08 but i really dont know what i have to do so pls pls anwser

  • buenisimo tutorial yo se lo hice a mi g25 y me quedo de maravilla, no es dificil, gracias por este video chilicoke

  • Awesome! I followed your instructions and it works beautifully! No more missed gears thx to you. The only side note is that I saw no indication on how the shift lever was oriented when putting it back together. Stupid me reassembled it wrong so that the reverse indicator is up and left hehe. It doesn't affect how it works though. Thank you again mate!

  • @chilicoke Hi, my shifter is starting to act strange. When i put it in 1st gear, it begins changing from 1 to 2 then 1 then 2 ... And When i put it in 3rd gear, it begins changing from 3 to 5 then 3 and 5 even if i dont even touch it. I don't know if you understand, if so do you think it could act normal again if aply the modification. I've been thinking it might be getting old & loose, it would explain why it mixes the 1 & 2 gear and the 3 & 5. Do you know if it would make any differences? thx.

  • Sigh...

    -Sad Xbox 360 owner

  • Hey Chili, i have a problem with my brand new G27 shifter, it will only go into 3rd / 4th gear, the gates shift fine, but if I'm in first it registers as 3rd, if I'm in 2nd it's in 4th.

    As well as if it's in 5th it's in 3rd and 6th it's in 4th X_x

    What could the problem be?

  • Hi mate could you please tell me what you used as a little spacer and i want to buy a steering wheel mod kit paddel kit and kit for this mod can you help me i live in New Zealand thanks

  • I just got G27, and honestly, i cant even imagine how bad G25 shifter was considering how bad G27 shifter is. Its waaaaay too light, you can shift it with your little finger with easy. It should have longer throws and require much more force to use.

  • gud news is i did it n have no probs in moving the shifter but i havent plugged it up yet......will post again soon

  • where do i find a spacer???

  • Hey chilicoke i really need you to pleaase answer this:

    Can i use a g27 or g25 standalone Shifter with a DRGT?? if not, is there a shifter compatiable??? like a stand alone one?

  • Lol... how many screws?!!

  • On question. If I were to buy a different shift knob would I be able to use it on the G27 wheel?

  • Been dismantling, checking, reassembling and testing like a mad man now, shifter still NOT working, with or without mod :S

  • Fark.. I reinstalled correctly (shifter in 2nd gear, potentiometer pointing the right way) but the gears wont work still :S

  • No offense, you forgot to show the detaching and installation of the spacer nuts for each of the 2 clamps, might be worth it to show where to properly space them again :)

  • спасибо.

    очень хорошее видео

  • Thanks a lot sir is works perfectly.

  • done this mod but now my sequential don't work...

    why -_-

  • Ok, so, i've just done this mod, and i'm very satisfied! :) I'ts not heavy, but much better feeling, especially the seq-mode!!! It's a bit messy to work with, and make sure you got much space when doing it (becuse I was trapped in my small simulator corner). Thanks for the guide! :)

  • I just spent 2 hours doing mine. Went to Lowes for the rubber O-ring: Inside Diameter = 1/4 and OD=3/8, none was found! They only had the ID=1/4 &OD=7/32. Close enough?... NOPE i had to do shave excess with my Iris Scissors to trim it down

    few things I noticed:

    1) Greasy as in grey/black

    2) the ball bearing is so hard to put back togehter

    3) ALMOST BROKE My potentiometer!!! snapped it backwards but metal still in tact!

    4) Pen's tube is too small = 1/8". Wooden chopstick, perfect 3/16" fit!

  • Haha, I cut the spacer from a pen's ink container. This is true DIY! :D Thank you so much!

  • Togather!? 2:27 

  • also does this mod removes the clicking sound too? some said that this mod works but will cause problems to the sequential shifting

  • @XxshadowxXVinX no this mod doesn't remove the clicking sound and the sequencial box (if you do it right) will work well just a bit harder than before

  • hello there i have a g25 with 2 years warranty, will the warranty void by doing that? also where can i find the spacer?

  • @XxshadowxXVinX just use ur chopsticks, that will do the same job :)

  • Nice work on your mods and videos...both are great quality!

    BTW, is the G27 worth the extra cash compared to the G25?

    I want to play GT5 with a full set up but I'm on a budget.

  • LOL it worked its absolutley awesone no more accidentally flicking the shifter into the wrong gear :p

  • where did you get your g25 and for how much? im really lookin for one lol

  • yea right i cant be bothered buying it i can make myself.its just bit of metal in it u could cut that from wood and it would work same way.anyway i had this done to my shifter before this video was on.

  • do u need to replace the o-ring every so often from wearing?

  • what is the diameter of the ball bearing in the shifter? lost mine and need to get one :(

  • this work with g27?>

  • how long is the spacer?

  • @SerzantasLTU go to his website everything is there

  • what kind of motor used in g25 ?

  • Just did this mod and it worked perfectly! No issues at all!!!! Thank you!

  • You could go work @ Logitech. ;p

    Great job man!

  • The quality and thorough nature of your videos is awesome! Thanks for the informative how-to's.

  • hy guys...I have done the mod....now the shift has an increased resistence but still have the noise....do you have also solved the problem of the noise with this mod?

  • @lucozades the noise is the sound of all the components clanking together, to solve this logitech removed the sequential option in the g27.

  • Did anyone tried to modify the above video method on G27 before? :P

  • Comment removed

  • Chilicoke: any idea to tighten g27 shifter? or sameas this video?

  • Thanksss i twill sub

  • Thats all logitech needed to do to make the thing more relistic. cheap bastards

  • Great mod, worked first time. The whole shifter feels a lot meatier and clunkier. Thanks for this - Now GT5 beckons!

  • @chilicoke for christmas you should send me a G25.... =P pretty please?

  • how would you rate the feel 10 being the most realistic, 1 being least.

  • where did u get the spacer and the rubber o ring =/

  • I have a Problem with my g25 shifter, in allmost every game the second gear would not go in, but i hit the clutch all the way down. I screwed it into pieces and hope to see the problem, but everything seems allright.

    In GT 5 now is the same problem with second gear, is if accelerate in first gear and quckly change into second it goes in neutral, its only by 2nd gear the rest is ok. (Sorry for bad gramatics)

  • @w33z0r

    Curious to know if you solved the issue. I have to same problem now after completing this mod. 2nd gear never likes to engage when shifting from 1st to 2nd.

  • @ryman4760 with the g27 its 5 - 6

  • chilicoke work for logitech :) thats nice xD

  • where DID you learn this? i want to know, and does this have guarantee?

  • i like the shifter from G25 more than the G27!!

    but not customised!

  • great..... the sequiental doesnt work. i checked the part at 3:35 . it's fine

  • Does this work on the G27 as well?

  • i find not a O-RING !!

  • u fucked mine up

  • Comment removed

  • @XzWiLBURzX ur g25's shifter broken?

  • @chillicoke would you say this mod is risky for beginners?

  • @PrickityPrick At least it didn't look like it.

  • @PrickityPrick yes it is... i'm not chilicoke but seriously i'm a beginners, but so far i managed to do this, it's pretty easy but watch out at 2:34 - 3:38 it's fucking hard and i'm almost lose my ball bearing. i'm doing this about... 1,5 hours -_-

  • Hi chilicoke i have a problem,

    the connecter thing show at 3:38 pops out when ever i put it in plus the spring and the ballbearing have gone missing :S

    so the shifter is a bit buggy and it fells VERY loose can you make a suggestion as to what i could do?

  • @eddy6781 If that connector pops out that means the wire is under too much tension, it shouldn't be.

    As for the ball bearing, you need that cause that's what make the shifter "click" and provide the "notichness" feel when you shift. Check your local hardware stores for replacement steel ball bearings, if you are in the US, check ACE hardware as some stores carry them.

    Good luck.

  • hei i have a proble.... when i finished the mod suddenly the shifters (2,4,6, and R) isn't working. why?i checked the cable and anything else and it's pretty fine

  • @nagged55 The potentiometer show/visible at 3:35 was not put back in the correct angle into the casing. Make sure it is pointing directly downward into the bottom of the enclosure.

  • Comment removed

  • @chilicoke ok thank you it's working :D

    i'm thinking that i want to buy the adaptor (sterring) but i'm from indonesian, is it possible to deliver ur adaptor to indonesia :) ?

    oya, i do the handbrake mod and the paddle. IT'S AWESOME

  • @nagged55 International shipping won't be a problem! Glad you got your shifter working, have fun!

  • CAN YOU DO THIS ON YOUR G27 AND IS IT THE SAME PROSESS

  • @bettafish110 read the description, there is G25 after the mod feels like G27 shifter.. so u don't need to do anything! one tip, press the caps button on the keyboard, then it uses small font =)

  • @EuroDollaProductions bro i know wat the caps button does but i wanted it to stick out so I USED CAPS. either you cant read or your a 10 year old retard cause i said can you do this to the g27 to add more tension on the g27 spring so it would be evenn harder to shift and will it be the same process (are the boards and stuff in the same place)

    your really a fag bro just dont even comment back cause i dont like to tell 10 year old to fck off

    Peace

  • @bettafish110 haha chill... I'm not 10 years an old and it was just a joke about the caps button.. but I don't know can u do this for G27, I don't know how those electric gear shifts work.., even I built my own computer.. I'm more like car/motocross mechanic.. Don't take it so seriously.

  • @EuroDollaProductions lol i dont know why i was so pissed LMFAOO but yea iam into car/motorcycle and motorcross(dirtbiks) i do all the work on my car myself iam thinking about opening a shop in a month or so. i really like the steering wheel but i think its a bit too much money so i might return it cause i dont play alot of racing games - or games at all but iam gettin black ops tomm cant wait LOL i wasnt diggin mw2 but after the trailer of black ops multiplayer looks like its worth gettin.

  • @bettafish110 It's ok :D, some one's have a bad day sometimes, like I got yesterday with my bike. Yeah this is little expensive wheel, but good I heard. I heard something about black ops, haven't checked out, I'll check the trailer.

  • @bettafish110 and you think that you are going to get an answer?

  • @pAAirs ????????why not?

    

  • @bettafish110 if you talk like that to others, you are not going to get an answer. at least not from me, that's for sure.

  • @pAAirs Lol yea but i said my bad i dont know i was havin a bad day

    Thankz anyways bro

  • Hi chilicoke i did this mod a few months ago and my shifted is messed up but works anyway i did what you said it was going well but i lost the ball bearing and spring now im scared to open up my shifter because the connecter thing show at 3:37 doesnt hold the position so now my shifter works but feels very loose there is no clicking noise made by the spring or what ever so what do i do plz help me =(

  • what is the rubber o size???

  • Thanks for the tip ChiliCoke, I've just put a spacer and shifting feels better... Without this tutorial I wouldn't have done it! Thanks!!!

  • Can someone help? I'm thinking about buying one but is the G25 better than the G27 for the price?

  • im surpised i did it thx man. btw, u forgot to add everythings as greasy as sh** inside lol

  • at this point, can i use a longer stick?

  • I still think the G27 is not stiff enough and still feels toy like compared my RSX with a Buddy Club short shifter. Is it possible if I do this mod to my G27 shifter?

  • @TriggaBlade I was wondering the same thing.

  • @TriggaBlade same here i wanan make it stiffer

  • I followed your excellent DIY guide successfully.

    As I hoped it also "repaired" the problem I had with 1st 3rd and 5th gear.

    Its better than new :-)

    THANKS A LOT.

  • what's a spacer in dutch?

  • @martijn5244

    Afstandhouder of een passtukje.

  • Comment removed

  • can u do it for me i'll give you 15 bucks

  • such a handlin, just to put a rubber o on it

  • I'm looking for the shift knob

    where can I buy this is my break

  • hi chilicoke do the g 25 shifter and pedles work with the driving force gt?

  • @PowerstrokeRacing24 Unfortunately no, however I could possibly make some shifter paddles that adapt/add onto the shifter "buttons" on the DFP/DFGT. I always felt those shift buttons are one of the most disappointing things about those wheels.

  • @chilicoke thanks i wanted to know bwcuase my pedels arnt working or spazing out and i like the g25 shifter.Thanks

  • Sounds like gran turismo music in the background... Awesome idea!

  • lol my logitech clutch didnt come with the clicky sound

  • thanks a lot mate, works very well :)

  • VERY interesting!

  • why did logitech thought of this LOL , a single rubber for that much work , uhm uhm uhm ok ill try it lol

  • the funny thing is is that although there is more technology in it than the apollo 13 control room but the only thing holding all of this together is a bunch of screws

  • where is the easiest place to get a o rubber ring

    ?

  • @OwnagePwnage5 an Autoparts store, or even a Paintball store you'll literally find any size o-ring you want from many paintball guns

  • I did this Mod along with the Ebrake mod last night. I did not feel too much of a difference in overall feel. I used a 5/16ths long wooden spacer (made from a chop stick). I also double layer electrical taped the holes to reduce clicking (figuring the added force from the spacer would make it louder). The result was not so much a heavier feel, but more of a notch into gear, or more of a hurtle. It is welcome and an improvement for sure, but not what I expected. Clicking is about the same. Thanks

  • leather, stainless steel and LED lights(pure quality). But what are those buttons at the back of the wheel, can you shift up and down with those??

  • Found some stuff at work that can be used as spacer... don't think I need the reverse gear mod because the G27 already got a good pressure on it. But increasing the gear-shift resistance would be awesome !

    Great Tutorial!!!

  • You make really good Videos ! Thumps up

  • Imagin if you did this mod on the g27 shifter, would be like real :0

  • lol thats alot of work for a skimpy rubber stopper haha

  • @shawn114483 And don't forget the spacer :D

  • I Guarantee U'll Fuck something Up if u try this Urself....Ur atleast going to forget stuff.

  • can you replace the shifter ball on those? Maybe another video? :) great work

  • Че за резинка? Где взять?

  • can you just get a bigger/longer spring instead of getting a spacer?,, thanks

  • can it be a plastic spacer?

  • @RallyRacer188 Yes, it can be anything as long as it won't collapse under stress from the spring. You can even try cutting a small "spacer" out of chopsticks next time when you have Chinese food take-out.

  • @chilicoke do G25's work on X-box 360?

  • VERY AWESOME *THUMBS UP*

  • absolutely brilliant video, took me quite a few tries but after i got my hands steady and watched how you did it a few times i got it in, the shifter which used to move just from touching it now changes properly! im just about to test if i got the potentiometers set right! :)

  • I performed this awesome mod last night, but ran into an issue I can't seem to resolve. After completing mod, the sequential mode of my G25 no longer functions (no light/no response from profiler or games). I double checked connections and cannot find anything loose or damaged and the switch that is opened when the selector is out of H-Gate mode appears to be functioning properly.

    At first I thought it was a "travel issue" with the shifter but then realized that sequential light was not lit.

  • @halfrican99503 When you rotate the knob to switch between H/sequential it moves an assembly into/out of position to lock out the side gates. There is a switch/button that the assembly triggers to enable/disable sequential shift. Sorry I don't remember the details but look for anything that is/should be triggered by the assembly and trouble shoot from there.

    Also make sure wires aren't being crushed by the casing when you put everything back together.

    Good luck!

  • @halfrican99503 I had a problem with the sequential mode as well...but only on up shifts. checked it on iRacing.com and could see that the shifter was sticking on the up shifts. So I took it back apart and lubed the two metal plates and I think I had the large switch plate upside down (not sure if that would make a difference) but what ever I did it fixed the problem. :]

    thanks Chili...nice mod

  • DAMN!!! i Don't wanna Do That... Imm'a yust End up Destroying it :P you are Fking Gernius!!! Later bro...

  • do you know if i can do this to the G27 to make the g27 shifter more stiff

  • hey chilicoke, would like to know whats the diameter of the spacer used in this mod?

    BTW awesome videos!!!!!

  • great video, thank you. And the music was pleasant, unlike that loud rock others always put in their vids, kinda felt like Gran Turismo menu music :)

  • @PublicEnemydX it is, isnt it?

  • I did this today, and OH MY GOD that spring with the little ball on it was so fucking annoying! No fucking way I was going to get that shit together!

    But I eventually did, and the result was unbelievable! You guys are awesome!

  • when you do the Ball bearing Spacer, does that help eliminate the clicking sound when you shift, or would it be better to go and get a check-ball that is plastic that ford uses in the F-150 transmissions?

  • nice video :D i've seen them all!!! LOVE them doing it myself now with a complete dashboard of a Civic but one question...does this mod still work when i dont got the rubber ring?? just only a spacer between the bearing and spring?

    greetzzz FreakoRico

  • what's this song called? isn't the song from gt5?

  • @Aznkhangsta i think it is, i quite relaxin though hehe

  • hello i have a Logitech G25 and i would like to do this but i have one concern.

    By doing this will it by any means effect the wear and tear of the system? making it prone to damage easily or it's life span decreased? thanks for anyone who answers

  • will the shifter work for a 14 speed vehicle?

  • @rewindablender no but there is shifter paddles on the steering wheel and that will work on a vehicle with an unlimited amount of gears

  • Hey chillicoke its me "again" :/

    anyway i decided to attempt this mod again (not a good idea) but u no

    i tried it again,

    i removed the shaft and did as u said i made sure the black thing was pointing down

    i put it bak toggether and pluged it in BUT when i put on a game though

    some of the gears dont respond like 2,4,5 and 6 only 1 and 3?

    ive took it apart and put it bak toggether like 9999999 times but the same thing happens :(

    plz help me or could you give me some suggestiong on what to do plz?

  • man there's so many fucking screws!!! :S

  • where can i get the O-ring and the spacer ?

  • Comment removed

  • @eddy6781, Make sure both potentiometers shown at 3:36 are pointing downward into their positions when you assemble the unit back into the enclosure. The "stiffness" of each shifts is determined by the force/pressure the spring puts on the ball bearing (which is why we added the spacer). Double check that.

  • does the clicking stop

  • Just completed this mod, thanks for the detailed instructions.

  • g00d job... i love my g25 more..

  • step 1 un screw step 2 un screw step 3 un screw.... step 10 screw step 11 screw!!

    seriously they put alot of screws in that thing

  • You removed the shaft .. Ô.ô

  • What the name of that song it's pretty kool

  • buy a g27

  • The ring is rubber or steel???

  • rubber.. go to home depot.

  • what is different than before? nice..you are clever!

  • So I did the mod and somewhere along the process I screwed up and my gears are backwards.....what should be 6th is 1st and what should be 5th is 2nd, etc. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
