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.

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.

Thanks for the feedback Reaper and glad ro hear you like the mod👌
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.

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.
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.

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
This mod is so good! I installed it a few months ago and it makes it feel so much better. Less like a toy
Great Mod! Ordered on April 30th, shipped May 11th, arrived to Nevada May 25th. Follow the video, install isn't difficult with allen wrench, phillips screwdriver, and a small pair of pliers to grip the end nuts to remove the clamps. Worth it!
Looks much more thought through than all the other mods. I'll definetly give it a shot to breath some new life into my shifter.

From my experience... Make sure to apply bunch of grease on and around the tiny metal ball. If too much friction, it pops out.
Someone please help me, I pulled mine apart, and that spring in the bottom went flying which is fine. But there was a smaller little bb than the one used to make the shifter pop into place, where does it go?

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.
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! ;-)

would there be import duties to usa?
I thought about so many alternatives and ended up just improving the existing setup with adding 2 small spacers in the groove ground where the spring is set in. It allows the spring to have some initial tension and it has improved a lot already with that. Anyhow, took me way longer than expected (90 mins, but I had to search for the right tools).

Can you give the size of the screws
uh i installed it finally but now my shifter doesnt work, it only sees 2 4 and 6 but in neutral
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

Ok this is verrryy interesting! I have a question. I use a challenge playseat with a 3d printed g29 shifter mount. Is this mount steardy enough to deal with the added friction? I've bought a weak shifter mod which broke in 1 month or so, but I miss the feel of the friction it gave! This seems a LOT more steardy, but just makes me wonder if it wont put to much stress on the shifter mount.
So it's basically a little stick that you put instead of a spring?

Only if you can assign a different button layout in the game. You'll have to reassign the gears. That should work.
I would think you could also still use the spring with a spacer to make the spring a bit more compressed, if you do not like how hard it is to pull with a solid peace of plastic in there, and you could make it varying lengths to give the spring less or more compression.
Where can I buy the spring?
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.

Yes!
Will it work with g25 shifter?
What material do you use?
Is it a spring or piece of plastic? I still don't get it.
Is that a torx bit driver? If so, what size? I just got mine in the mail and plan on installing soon. Just want to make sure i have the correct tools
would this work for ats and ets?
Will this work on a g27?
Hey Custom Sim Shop, I emailed you a week ago and you didn't seem to respond. I paid for the product but I really need the package parameters (weight / length / width) can you provide them for me? I need them or else I won't be able to get this product

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.

Received mine yesterday, pretty impressed with the shipping speed tbh (Australia to New York in under a month) and got to install right away. I love the feel, especially with the heavier shifter I got from the site, however I now have an issue where my first and 3rd gear are "slipping out" and I have no idea what I did to cause it. Any help would be great. Playing assetto, it recognizes first gear, especially when I keep continuous pressure, but the moment I stop holding it in first, or third, and go to grab the wheel it no longer senses it's in gear and puts me in neutral

Make sure the switches on the inside of the shifter are exactly in the same place as before. Some people have also been able to re-calibrate the shifter through Logitech software.
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.

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.

^ this. I’m so pissed off with how this thing installs and the video is SO fucking dumb. No comprehensive guide for ANYTHING. God what a fucking disaster.
Hello, i buy today from you guys. I am a litte nervous about is it working or not. I have the G920 i just have to wait and see if is a Excellent upgrade
Still waiting for my shifter, but looks great improv for 12 pounds. Nice one. So it's silicone rubber grease recommended for this?
How difficult is it to put together?
Was that a spring or what? What material is it?
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!
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!

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.

Usually, it takes about 2-3 weeks for deliveries to European countries. We are working on getting a shop running in Europe, to cut down on the delivery cost and time.
With this mod, are you still able to use a rubberband mod to make it a sequential shifter? Or is the shifting force to high with it?
@AleksandarMijailovic85

@Patman494 Unfortunately, it's not possible. Got mine yesterday and tried with both 42 and 44mm O-Rings and it's just too stiff. I see people here are mentioning trimming the spring with sandpaper for ~1mm and maybe that will do a trick regarding sequential mod as that should loosen the stiffness but haven't tested myself still. Will probably try that as a regular H-pattern is very hard and notchy to shift to any gear as well at the moment.
Hello there, can you tell me which type of grease is that? I need to know which grease I need to use, especially that black one you used, it looks the same as the logitech grease, And I would appreciate if you put a link for the grease so i can buy it online, or if i could find it somewhere in a local store

Hi, any kind of industrial grease would do, as long as it's slightly thicker. The colour doesn't matter as much, it just needs some thicker form of lubrication.

I finally installed this after buying it over a year ago. Great feel, but the shifter no longer works in the game, electronics didn't like being messed with. so, buying a new one, looking at alternatives.
