Great review as always! VNM really are a fantastic group of people. I'm pleased to see people discussing their products more when considering their upgrade options but more people need to know about them! About your software misshifts from 3-5, i noticed when you're in VNM config the green dot in 3rd gear moves very close the the 5th gear box. Did you try moving the boundaries in software before disassembling and cleaning your shifter?
Thanks, Alan. And to answer your question, Yes, I did try to move the boundaries and it did work for a while. Then it started to get worse. Which is why I tried cleaning the sensor. And because my home is based around a bit of a dusty environment, it requires very frequent dusting sessions.
Hello again my friend, I just bought this shifter and ithe quality is awesome I wonder though all of this screwing and unscrewing will damage the threads Have you noticed any degration or difficulty in screwing? I made a reddit post and some say to not use a power drill and screw it by hand to be more gentle Im asking ytbers that i know have it and use it If i got answer im gonna post it in reddit
@@darthsnape I asked another person he has it for 3 years and he said it's fine,no problems He said he doesn't change it frequently Do you change frequently? I think it's fine and I will use an allen
@@Countrymusicnumber1 i have a gttrack and its unsturdy Not very adjustable Shit seat that reclines ~30degrees when braking on g29 pedals I would buy a alu profile if i had the money. If youre asking which rig, it doesnt matter. All are the same
GOOD NEWS!! About the side to side tension there is a fix Check "VNM Shifter Spring Upgrade" its a very easy mod You just put a cheap spring there and done I bought this shifter and monday it comes
@@darthsnape Yes its from Redmist "VNM Shifter Spring Upgrade! Now More Perfect!" Generally i tend to not share or open links from stangers ,thats why i didnt link

will fanatec gear ever be available in India
Some gear are available via VirtualRacingHub. You can contact them to get something which isn’t available in the website as well.
@@darthsnape Hey, thanks. I contacted them.
@bruhm0ment767 I hope you found what you were looking for!
MANNNN!!! loved the review!! Btw what do you do for a living?/XD
Thanks Dev. I work in the gaming industry.
@@darthsnape wowwwwwwww
"Should you choose to go John Wick on someone." Dwl
Say what you will about theTHS8 but I never had it miss a single shift. It definitely is loose and not as nicely built though.
It’s less about the Th8a being loose and more about the lack of resistance tuning. By no means it is a bad shifter. For the price, it’s a great deal.

I haven’t used the power drill and always used to swap the shifter plates and stuff with allen key. No wear and tear at all.
@@darthsnape That's refreshing
Thank you for answering
@@darthsnape I asked another person he has it for 3 years and he said it's fine,no problems

Do you change frequently?
I think it's fine and I will use an allen
@tkdmp5698 I change about 4-5 times in a week😅
Nothing happened tbh
@@darthsnape VNM is so good
The test of time is an important one
Serious question, how much did you spend on your rig (except PC and Display)
About $6000 spent till now. From the TX bundle to Simagic Alpha U.
I really should stop, lol.
@@darthsnape you could have invested that money in a black Omni and earned enough money for a 4090 i9 motion rig. Iykyk lol
@decodersan8589 😂 Would an Eeco work?
Is the resistance hard enough to replicate an old car a bit?
To some degree, yes. The resistance can be set so high that it would become less of a shifting game and more of a yanking game.
What sim rig stand are you using?
NextlevelRacing GT track
@@darthsnape Thank you!
@@Countrymusicnumber1it is not good!
@@AdamEHuss I'm debating on which stand to buy. What do you recommend? I was considering the NLR Wheel Stand 2.0 for the Alpha mini DD wheel base
@@Countrymusicnumber1 i have a gttrack and its
unsturdy
Not very adjustable
Shit seat that reclines ~30degrees when braking on g29 pedals
I would buy a alu profile if i had the money. If youre asking which rig, it doesnt matter. All are the same
