hey mate, i just bought one last week. seems sim jack has really figured out all the problems with the shifter. i just opened up the side and the back to take a look to see if i had any of these issues. with the bearings, both are fully seated with 2 black washers each. with the shaft issue that you had, they have now put a bolt through the middle, inbetween the interlocking holes of the two side plates. that bolt now goes through the shaft, which is also now encased in a square block of steel. the shifter has grease inside the contact parts as well. i think if you buy one now, you'd see it's fairly flawless. good to see they have learned and improved the product. sorry if it sounds a bit confusing right now, im not good with naming and describing mechanical parts haha. for anyone looking to buy one now, you pretty much have nothing you need to do to ensure it lasts.
Hi man, yesterday night I was doing the same operation 😂 it seems that this shifter wants to be groped till exhaustion. I did not go that far dissassembling though. Never had to do something similar with my Aiologs that was sold last week😢. But it is a functional shifter anyhow
You can't compare the Aiologs to this shifter, I have owned the Aiologs and loved it unfortunately, I sold my rig a couple of years ago. I now have the Simjack and it is a great shifter for what you pay for it, The Aiologs here in New Zealand retails for over 500 nzd, I purchased my Simjack in China for just under 100 nzd. Cheers
