I bought a Fanatec SQ1.5 shifter and really like it. Nice feel to it once you stiffen the springs up (there's a built-in adjustment). $200.

Need this to use with the G27 (and others): https://www.fanatec.com/us-en/sim-ra...dapter-us.html

I like the Derek Speare Designs sequential. With the serious spring, feels like a Cup car!

Thank you Peter, Jim, et al. I think I will order the Fanatec Shifter and adapter. I tried contacting Logitech for a replacement shifter but just got frustrated.. not worth my time for such an old setup. I do have a custom made aluminum shift **** that fits a G25/27 if anyone wants it. It's similar to the sequential **** on the Fanatec.. Only question is how does it mount on the desktop? I see no clamping apparatus on it?

Does anyone know if the perfect pedal will work with the newer G920 pedals?

Might want to ping them. They actually specify a difference between the G25 and G27 in the DIY kits.

That said, the GTEye springs are listed as the same for all three (G25/27/920) so it's worth checking.

Nixim has been around a long time, and there's buzz about the GTEye replacement springs. http://www.nixim.com/brake/

Agreed.

I think they just assume you have a rig already and will use the mount holes that are on the shifter to hard-mount it.

Tried submitting the order twice, get an "Parameter List Format Error"... and this screen.. I just can't win. Doesn't matter how I choose to pay, and if I click "OK" it sends me back to my address screen which has my phone number in it. No idea why it's there but it's a required parameter when putting the address in. I emailed Fanatec....

I've got the Derek Spears bent sequential shifter. I like it, its very mechanical, feels solid.

If I upgrade, I think I'd go with the MANU sequential as its a direct clone of the old GT3 Cup Car.

Fanatec shifter/adapter/mount ordered. They never figured out the issue, I took the "&" out of my company's name and PayPal went through so I can only assume it caused an error in their address check scheme..
