Is the shift knob shaft M10x1.5 or M10x1.25?
bought it thanks to your review and I'm very happy, got it for about 80usd and it's a huge bang for the buck, built is great and it works wonderfully
I just got my shifter a few minutes ago, and I can report: There's no wiggle in the shaft, and the mechanics are actually greased. Looks like someone watches your videos. 🙂
I'm glad someone watches my videos, besides SimCat. 😺👍
But in my case, I had to move the Hall Sensor PCB a bit to the front (slanted side), as the magnet "overshot" its target by a millimeter or so, causing a second triggered event on its way back. But that was an easy fix, and the shifts feel sooo satisfying. (I upgraded from the magnetic AliExpress shifter.)
After a few hours of serious banging, I noticed my shaft also getting lose. (Puns intended, of course.)
So I opened up the shifter to see what I can do. Turns out Sim Jack put an additional bolt between the interlocking plates which, after adding some thread locker and re-tightening the nut, successfully eliminates the play.
As I can neither add photos nor links here, I'll send you an email showing the new internals.
It's super nice the fact that you tear it down and explain how the inner mechanism works. I love it. Sim Jack brand with the best bang-for-buck products. Pedals, Handbrake and now this sequential shifter!
Thanks for all the information, your channel is gold when it comes to finding such value for money products. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
I ordered one yesterday because of you. Thanks for you efforts! Good work like always :-)
Received mine today. I guess they listened to the testers and the reviewers. No wiggle, no need for washers. They seem to have fixed the problems. Very nice shifter.
Great, that's good to know.
Thanks for reviewing this. This will be my next sim rig uograde.
Great review, thanks! Looking at buying this, with the SIM JACK PRO load cell pedals too.
Such a great shifter, I love it.
You are a legend!
I was amazed by the feel of this. Up there with $500+ sequentials!
Is it up there with the aiologs 180$ shifter. Design and all make them direct competitors I feel. There is no clamp for this one?
Great video mate, i'm looking in to their new h-pattern shifter aswell, looks really well built.
Thanks very much! I should have their h shifter arriving in the week, so I'll run out an unboxing when it arrives.
I'm curious what the difference is in comparison. I just ordered the cheaper h-pattern one. Hope it will be fine for my needs :-)
That's something I'll look at as well.
I'm interested to know if the h pattern is hall effect as well.
@@7MBoosted I will check that when it arrives, and mention it in the unboxing this week.
Just got mine and it's a solid bit of kit so far so good . Does have slight play but I'm going to take it apart tomorrow and see if any loose bolts are there and grease her up 😏
i did the same tear down on my channel x2 vids (stag race sims) last year and found alot of other issues as well but all were fixed and when done it was good
the bolts should be installed with thread locker, and the tabs inside could be tig-welded for less wiggle.
I have a more generic one from chine (silver one that works with magnets). It is kind of hard, but my problem is that with bass shakers the loose rod rattles too much
I got mine yesterday, pretty happy with the build quality and feel over all for the price, and I've had no compatibility issues of any kind, but mine sounds quite creaky and squeaky. I think I'm going to have to open it up and see what the cause is. Hopefully it just needs a bit of lube. Update: I talked with simjack and they ended up sending me an entirely new internal mechanism for the shifter. It was fairly easy to install and it cleared the creaking noises right up. Quite pleased with it now!
Other than that I think I'll get myself a taller knob to bring it up to the height that I want, and because I think the stock one is a little bit plain jane.
It seem to lack that distinctive click but maybe it is a better shifter if you want to use later at night and when you don't want to disturb or what is your opinion on the sound?
nice. i'll get this one. do you have a review of the simjacks h-shifter looks like close to fanatec design
I should have the Sim Jack h-shifter arriving this coming week.
@@SimRacingCorner Thanks I'm excited to see your review
Great review, I like the way you increased the height of the shifter for you rig! I would love to replicate it, can you link to the parts you used for that or did you just go into a hardware store to get the mount custom made?
It's just standard 40/40 aluminium profile, and regular aluminium profile angle brackets. Nothing special, you can find this stuff online from aluminium profile vendors.
Looks really nice. I just bought one of the black aliexpress h-pattern shifters with hall sensors and adjustable knob. Very nice for the money. Looking to get a sequencial later and will see if maybe moza comes out with something. If not this seems like a possibility.
I’m running a g pro wheel, but don’t want the logitech shifter. Maybe logitech will eventually give us something better. I’m not holding my breath though. We don’t even have rally and gt wheels yet.
I do know Moza are close to releasing a shifter, I don't know if it's Seq, H, or combined. But it should be quite soon!
@@SimRacingCorner Yeah I just saw a teaser video from moza the other day. It’s definitly h-pattern but they didn’t say if it was sequencial as well. I’m hoping it is. It would push others to release something high quality and affordable as well.
Everything from Moza I've tested so far has been great, so looking forward to giving that one a go too.
@@jacoblarsen4633I saw some pictures and unless there is a secret somewhere there does not appear to be a selection for sequential. Still, it looked nice enough.
@@SimRacingCorner It's a H shifter sadly
Hola tengo un problema y es que la palanca de reseteo y necesito el firmware saludos!!
Aight,we know what will be on my credit card bill of the next month.
Hi guys, i just order this shifter, following this Amazing review. But i want to know with what type or Brand of grease i should use to lubricate the bearings?
I think it comes greased now, someone mentioned this recently. Otherwise I can recommend lithium grease
the end of the spring rubs against a metal part which now causes an unpleasant scratching noise. I opened the case and tried to slide the spring over. after a couple shifts, the spring is back on the metal part and scratches. it's frustrating because they could easily prevent the spring from moving by placing a spacer there
At 3:20 on the right side. End of the spring above the oval shaped hole. Grease doesn't help
@@Michelsen77can you try loosening and rotating that rod it rests on
Do you think that would be a proper upgrade from a Thrustmaster Sparco TSS with the ball plunger mod?
The TSS with the plunger mod is just as good, really.
@@SimRacingCorner Thank you!
nice video ! thanks a lot !
but you mounted it on wrong side !
(ok, crap french joke...sorry 😇 )
what type of grease do you use to lubricate?
Lithium
I’m confused on how you mounted it, did it come with the piece of metal you had attached?
The mount is something I put together, and not included
Did you recomend this or the SRS shifter??
I'm wondering the same thing. Debating on this or SRS
cant wait until we can get some wheel button boxes at reasonable prices from china, £250 for a 3d printed/£500 for something decent is just silly
How much did this cost you shipped to your door in UK? Any additional customs charges?
Free shipping and no customs fees.
@@SimRacingCorner how many days did it take to reach home?
@@jerrygeorge007 A couple of weeks
Thanks for all the information, your channel is gold when it comes to finding such value for money products. Keep up the good work.
Is this shifter as loud as the Ebay one?
eBay has lots of shifters, so I don't know which one you mean.
Would like to see you review the SIm Jack Pro Pedals. they look really interesting and maybe much better than the minis
That would be a good one. I don't have plans for that right now, but it's always possible.
how is the compatibility?
Works with any PC racing game where you map a shifter.
@@SimRacingCorner thanks, great video, gonna get me one .
Is the link legit..... Its showing currently at just over £20 😮
Ignore that. That's just for the board.
G'day there, I just purchased a sim jack sequential after seeing your amazing & thorough reviews/recommendation, thank you for making it so easy to buy sim gear with 100% confidence!
I was just hoping to please get your advice or opinion on the action of my one and if it's normal/inherent in the design but I have a fair bit of play in one direction of selection.
Moving it forward is perfect with a nice firm and smooth tension till the click however going the other way there is a pretty noticeable amount of play before getting to the firm/tension feeling.
I have made a clip to try and illustrate it as much as possible and from I can tell its due to the positioning of the ball bearing in groove. th-cam.com/video/VlFvPXydscw/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Any info regarding this & if it's normal would be sincerely appreciated mate, thank you.
It should be consistent in both directions. Looking at yours, it looks a little offset in the resting position and not centred in the cutout. You can see that versus mine in the teardown segment of my review. th-cam.com/video/iUa8A4BNBps/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-gF40qp8b9C6GaCI&t=204
Thank you for taking the time to reply & confirming that for me mate I sincerely appreciate it.
It definitely wasnt centering properly and after more hours than I care to mention trying to get it right including flipping the spring which just changed the direction of the play...I've ultimately settled on shimming the leg of the spring with some aluminium can rolled into a sleeve which has centered/got rid of the play but has made that direction maybe a touch softer as I guess it's got a kind if pre-load on it now but it will have to do
@@SimRacingCornerG'day again mate,
I've tried posting this over 5 times but it keeps getting removed on my end...I think initially due to an Ali link but then full name reference?
On an unrelated/related note regarding the Simjack sequential, I went for the short handle version but on the off chance I needed more height I also bought this gear knob from Ali which arrived today.
"Epman Real Carbon Stealth Adjustable"
th-cam.com/video/a2B41_vAJYM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=739J2P1w2HmgCrdl
Its quite a nifty solution but also cheap, great quality & has a super nice look & feel so I thought if you haven't come across it, it might make a good short review as I'm sure there are others out there that could make good use of its custom height adjustable design for any type of shifter but I think it's form alone especially lends itself to a sequential shifter & also gives a more substantial feeling over the already nice stock Simjack alloy knob.
Cheers
