The PU foam sits between the stiffness adjustment Allen bolt and the metal ball. Just back the adjustment bolt all the way out, and the PU foam and the metal ball should just fall out.
Thanks bro, it was just a quick update with a recommendation for anyone already contacting Fanatec's customer service department to get parts for their shifter.
If you need a upgraded firmer spring for this type into eBay it is stated it can give you a shifting force upto 5.5kg - Fanatec Clubsport Shifter SQ v1.5 - Stronger Spring for firmer H gate shifting
Thanks, I'll look into it. Although I'm pretty satisfied with how it feels now that I installed a piece of silicone rubber to push against the metal ball.
1.045 / 5.000 My Fanatec gearbox worked without a problem, a few days ago it started to fail, when I engage gear 1 it enters R, if I engage gear 2 it flashes between 1 and 2 constantly. I have tried everything I have seen on TH-cam: 1: open the gearbox, clean the two plates with isoprolytic alcohol. 2: put insulating tape behind the plates. 3: check that the magnet is centered. 4: change the rj12 cable. 5: isolate chais with ground connection. Well today I realized what caused my error in the change. This is simply when starting the EA WRC game, then even if you close the game it is already uncalibrated and with false positives. If I do not start this game, the change does not cause false positives, verified with a fanatec program on another monitor. I have updated the program to its latest version 4.55 the firmware of the change is 1.12 From what I deduce that many users do not know why the change fails over time, in my case it has been this and I don't know how to solve it, I already deleted everything related to this game and I have reinstalled having the same problem.
Sounds like you've done just about everything that I can think of. Does this also happen in other games like Assetto Corsa, iRacing, etc, or just in the EA WRC game?
Hey bro, this is the question I asked, "I'm from the Caribbean which is not eligible so I updated my location to the United States. The big question I have is would I have to pay tax? Do TH-cam handle the whole tax thing? Or do I need someone living in the US to pay tax for me? I don't know how would the whole tax thing work after I make an Adsense account and have everything running ya know"
Before we go along, I must say that I am not a tax expert, so take this with a grain of salt and do your due diligence by continuing to do your own research into the topic... now with that out of the way… It depends, I don't know which country you are from, so first go to this website ( www.irs.gov/businesses/international-businesses/united-states-income-tax-treaties-a-to-z ) to see if your country has a tax treaty with the USA, if your country is listed there, just click on it to get more information. If your country also has a tax treaty with the USA, you may be entitled to a reduced tax rate, or maybe even a tax break in the US. Here is a clause directly from the IRS website: “ The United States has tax treaties with a number of foreign countries. Under these treaties, residents (not necessarily citizens) of foreign countries are taxed at a reduced rate, or are exempt from U.S. taxes on certain items of income they receive from sources within the United States. These reduced rates and exemptions vary among countries and specific items of income. Under these same treaties, residents or citizens of the United States are taxed at a reduced rate, or are exempt from foreign taxes, on certain items of income they receive from sources within foreign countries.” Now, Trinidad and Tobago has a tax treaty with the USA, so for instance... when I applied to the Amazon associates program I had to fill out a particular form for tax purposes, I think it was a ( W-8 BEN ) form if I'm not mistaken. This exempted me from having to pay taxes in the US, but I still have to handle it on my end. As you may already know, TH-cam pays you via your AdSense account, so obviously when signing up for an AdSense account you need to answer all questions truthfully (country of residence, actual mailing address where you live, etc. ) because you will have to go through a process for Google to verify that all of your information is correct. They even send you a code in the mail, which you'll have to enter into your AdSense account to verify your mailing address because this is the actual address where they will be sending you your cheques for payment, you also now have the option to get paid via direct deposit. Hopefully, this information was helpful to you.
@@ProSimRacing wow the fact that you took the time to write all that to help me out is very kind of you. This is very helpful and I'll forever be grateful my guy. Thank you, I'll be sure to check it out and do more research if needed. I appreciate you. 🙏 God bless you. 😇
Just some advice if you're planning on contacting Fanatec to acquire a new sequential spring for your Fanatec ClubSport Shifter SQ1.5
Is there any video that shows how to open that section of the unit, as in how to take out the PU foam ?

Nice one bro

You're welcome buddy, you should really enjoy the feeling of the H-pattern mode after the repair.
