Huh? What do you mean with 'the plastic gearboot collar'? You mean the leather/plastic-ish thing which wraps the stick?

I have the exact same problem! I was playing LFS, and suddenly the shifter started to fail!
1st, 3rd and 5th position makes it shift to 3rd gear.
2nd, 4th, 6th and reverse position makes it shift to 4th gear.
But if i activate the sequential mode, it works fine.. if I push the stick away from me, it's 1st gear, if I pull it to me, it's 2nd gear. But as I said, in H-pattern, only 3rd and 4th gear works.. :s

I have also restarted the computer, re-plugged the USB cable and the shifter cable, but nothing works.. the problem is there in other games/windows too..


Topic starter, have you fixed the problem now? Or what did you do about it?

Control Panel -> Gaming Devices/Controllers -> Properties (or something) -> Settings -> Rotation (720 degrees is nice)

I'm Norwegian, so sorry if some of the translations are wrong.
