as mentioned above. you need to either open both shifters and unplug the cables from the circuit boards and swap them over (so use the complete g27 shifter cable on the g25 shifter), or mod the g25 cable (there like 2 or 3 wires inside the cable that need to be moved). i believe you can also get a plug and play adapter to make it work
Just did it to the shifter for the g920/ g29. Works! Same design except the added spring at the bottom holding the metal plates together. The added spring doesn’t allow for a 7mm long spacer. The ball bearing will pop out bc of pressure. So if you do this to the newer Logi shifter you can only do 2-3mm spacer. Hope this helps!
12 years on and still the best tutorial. And probably the best mod too since its virtually free, fairly simple and makes a huge difference. I bought the g25 in 2022 to drift in Assetto Corsa and can confirm it's still solid. Thank you 2010 ChiliCoke!
@@hypnoex5282 yeah the links don’t work for me either. I just used stuff from around the house/ garage. I have an O-ring kit in the shed (can get these cheap as from ebay).

For anyone wondering, yes it does work for the G29 shifter (they are exactly the same the G29 is just missing buttons) here this guy disassembled it : th-cam.com/video/d7qCn3o8K98/w-d-xo.html. Personally I just used some wet paper to fill the spring's socket, you should fill it until you see like 5 spirals of the spring no more than that or the spring is going to let go of the ball. The o ring can be replaced by any rubber band really and it will work well. Don't screw the shifter's bar the wrong way around tough (or the knob will be inversed).
Thanks for posting this! I just modified mine, feels already much better. I applied this fix because mine jumped from 2nd to 6th gear out of its own. Applying this mod solved the problem and i got an improved feel as an extra :-) Thanks again!
this guide helped me finish my G25 mods, moved clutch spring into brake, got rid of brake spring, got a stiffer throttle spring in the clutch, from stiffness it now goes brake/clutch/throttle but they are all fairly easy to press, feels like my daily driver, 2006 Ford Falcon, the shifter now also has a spacer in it, bit bigger than shown so sequential doesnt pop down and screw up and H pattern feels a bit stronger when shifting
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!
Amazing bit of engineering these are to still be going strong after all these years! I just repaired a G25 shifter that was popping out of 4th gear - Opened it thanks to your guide, and found a broken wire down at the pot connector - Re soldered all 3 wires and back in business, bam
i left a stupid comment on the first video i watched of you guys, but now after whatching some more of your vids, i found out that you guys are friking awesome, great vids
Thanks for the instructions. I fixed H mode and made modification presented on this video in one shot. Works quite well. Putting it into second gear really helps in assembling it back.
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.
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! :)
Someone gave me a G25 shifter so I tried this on that. It's a class A pain in the ass to get the assembly back in with the spring/ball spacer but it makes the shifter retain gears better and it still worked when I plugged it in so....win.
Nice G25 Lifehack! Works fine! Couldn't find a suitable spacer so i used a screw with nut in the required diameter. The advantage is that you can adjust the spring strength :)
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
I used this video twice already but never to do the mod, just to see how to dissasemble it and do some maintenance on the wiring. This time, while the shifter was apart, I also threw in a random spacer I found around which is more or less the same size you used in the video and boy oh boy it feels so much better now. I always thought it cannot make such a difference such a small mod but it does.
@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.
@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!
watched this 10 years ago haha. This was my first ever mod in my life at the time. lol, 10 years later you should see my rig now. Its a heavily modded thrustmaster tspc
I've had the G25 since the launch (not the same one tho, replaced twice under warranty) and now I found this mod, lol. Going to be using the shifter (and modded pedals) with T300.
@@toose70 ive not seen inside a G29 shifter but i would imagine it would use the same mechanism however, the G27 shifter was a vast improvement over the G25. Assuming the G27 and G29 mech is the same the mod is not required. you may want to look into the ebay 3d printed shifter gates for improved feel
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!!!
Wiping the dust on my old G25. Found some pice of plastic crap at home and done it. Ferrari style now, hard to move but no more ghost shifts, especially into second gear. Cool mod!
This had made my shifts feel 1,000,000 times better. I didn't buy anything tho, I used the metal tip of the prong from a European 2 pin plug and a elastic ring used for braiding hair. Thanks for uploading the video tho
@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.
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.
i made this today. it works. but be carefull. dont extend too much the spring because its "only" strong to activate and desactivate the shift , not the course that the lever travels. so its hard to shift but engages fast. sorry my english.
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! :)
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.
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
Make the the two potentiometer as shown at 3:36 (there are two, one on the right side and the other behind the shaft) are properly aligned pointed downward when you re-assemble your shifter.
also, i think that clicking sound that people agonize over is the ball bearing slotting itself into one of the three holes. so keep in mind that since youre increasing the pressure on the ball bearing the clicking will get louder when you do this (at least mine did - it almost made no click when i bought it, now its really loud). a small price to pay.
@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.
@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.
just a note ... add thicker spacer to increase feel, thinner to decrease. o-ring might be doing same (have to watch again to confirm). basically increasing spring pressure.
sit.rep. had an issue with pushing forward on the shifter when in sequential mode (it wouldnt register). pulling worked fine. took the whole thing apart (fixed the shift knob orientation while i was at it) and it seems that the problem was the shift selector knob. if its pushed down, then it pushes up on the bracket that slides in and makes it so you cant shift up. so be gentle with it when you put it back into place and i also didnt screw the case back on super tight.
But since it was rubbery, I could screw in a screw and then pull it back out. You can't go wrong, if you pick a washer thats height is about two times its width. This mod is also really good, when you use the shifter in sequential mode, as it makes this harder too.
I just did this and it was relatively easy. If you follow this video, there is nothing that can go wrong. However, watching this video made me think that it's a clean job, but actually the shifter is covered with grease, so your hands, desk, tools and most likely some clothes will get dirty. In result, the click when shifting, sounds a bit better and you gain some resistance when shifting in or out of gear.
@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.
k, i just did this. couldnt find any spacers that fit, so i just took a wooden dowel, trimmed it down so it would fit in the hole, then cut it off at about 1/4'' the only mistake i made was that i put the shifting rod back in backwards after i put the rubber o ring in, so i had to put my shift knob on backwards (seam facing towards me) and the top shift diagram is backwards. but it was such a pain to get that side plate back on, im just gonna leave it. great mod. it feels great. thanks
@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 =)
Can confirm this mod works in 2020!!! Just be very careful about the wiring and such around the mechanism for the leaver for I think I was a little too forceful and could have made the mod go down south. I didn't have a means to get a spacer so I used a Lego piece that I cut and sanded to size, that I believe it was a little more longer than in the video. All in all, in glad I stumbled upon this video!
Cool. So how does the modded g25 shifter compared to the g27? If they feel the same it kinda makes me wonder why they couldn't have a sequential option for the g27...
where can you get the 3/16 inch spacers? ive looked all over in hardware stores and a webside that only sells aluminum spacers, and i can only find spacers that have an outer diameter of 1/4 inch.
The Driving Force Pro and the later model have the wheel and the shifter together. The shifter in this video actually is from the G25 and I'm sure because I have both the DFP and the G25.
hm, a lot more robust construction inside than I would have expected. the g25/27 are becoming more and more like the msffb2 with very strong demand on the used market and extensive modding. This is one of those nice 'clean' mods, where the changes shouldn't degrade much over time and are completely reversible. Nice!
Also, if you put a thick washer under the spring like I did, squeezing it back together and back in place is a pain in the ass and you will fail the first couple of times. The fact that your hands are all greasy does not help at this at all. There is no difference in what you put under the spring, it just has to be roughly the right size. I used a hard rubber tube, which I cut in correct size. I had to squeeze it in and first it was too high, so putting the shifter back together was impossible.
@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.
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?
I don't know why they removed the sequential mode... It was NUTS!!!
you can use the g25 shifter if you can find one. you just need to fit the g27 cable or adapt the g25 cable
No you can't
lol yes you can. ive been running a g25 shifter on my g27 for years
How come I can't do that on mine?

Is your homepage down my friend.. ? :)
you could make a video explaining and passing the measurements of the H exchange selection system to sequential
For reference, the O-Ring I've used was a 7mm ID, 1.5mm thick rubber o-ring. For the Spacer a 7mm long, 5.5mm OD steel rod.
just a note ...
add thicker spacer to increase feel, thinner to decrease. o-ring might be doing same (have to watch again to confirm).
basically increasing spring pressure.

You can't go wrong, if you pick a washer thats height is about two times its width.

ive looked all over in hardware stores and a webside that only sells aluminum spacers, and i can only find spacers that have an outer diameter of 1/4 inch.
you are a genius.
The Driving Force Pro and the later model have the wheel and the shifter together. The shifter in this video actually is from the G25 and I'm sure because I have both the DFP and the G25.
hm, a lot more robust construction inside than I would have expected.
the g25/27 are becoming more and more like the msffb2 with very strong demand on the used market and extensive modding.
This is one of those nice 'clean' mods, where the changes shouldn't degrade much over time and are completely reversible. Nice!
What size are the four screws you take out on the clamp? I've taken mine off but have since lost them and need to replace the clamp
bravo, lavoro pulito.
I got the shifter, I know what to do know but how big is the o ring and the spacer needs to be? is there an alternative to those items? thanks
yh it would be very helpfull to show how you made the handbrake function =)
Also, if you put a thick washer under the spring like I did, squeezing it back together and back in place is a pain in the ass and you will fail the first couple of times. The fact that your hands are all greasy does not help at this at all.
There is no difference in what you put under the spring, it just has to be roughly the right size. I used a hard rubber tube, which I cut in correct size. I had to squeeze it in and first it was too high, so putting the shifter back together was impossible.
@chillicoke would you say this mod is risky for beginners?
VERY interesting!
@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.
how did you learn to do it
where was that you study i don no?
If you can tell
'i love doing this kind of stuff
also does this mod removes the clicking sound too? some said that this mod works but will cause problems to the sequential shifting
Will this mod work on g29 shifter?
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?
