Hi,

I just bought brand new G27 and drove 5 races with it. Suddently, I couldn't change to second gear (with H-shifter). I though my logitech profiler is just again messing around with me and tried to reboot it, no help at all.

Now when I try to change gears, half of them work. And gears are TOTALLY wrong. Example when I change to sixth gear, driver tells it's second gear. And 4. gear is 2. gear. First gear doesn't work. Totally messed up.

I tried to reinstall drivers, logitech profiler, changed USB-ports, tried to connect all cables again to G27, nothing works.

Computer is also brand new with huge amount powersupply so it's not due lack of power in USB (hehe). And steeringwheel did work completely perfect in first 5 races.

Anyone else got this same problem? Thanks for advice.

It could a fault inside the shifted mechanism.

It looks like the potentiometer of left-right moves is out of its place. If that's the case it isn't hard to fix.

OK.

I think I send it back to Logitech. Quality in shifter really sucks..

Please go to Options in LFS

Go to Controls, select Shifter under Gear Shift mode

Select Shifter under buttons

Gears must be assigned to buttons as follows

Reverse 14
First 8
Second 9
Third 10
Fourth 11
Fifth 12
Sixth 13
Seventh none

Buttons are arranged as follows on shifter

8 10 12
9 11 13 14

Your buttons and gears are just associated wrongly, nothing wrong with shifter.

Example:

To assign First - click on button assignment next to first, on shifter push left completely and up, you will see button 8 is now associated with first gear...

good luck, I had similar trouble...

Hm sounds strange but i'll try that tomorrow. Just strange, cause gears worked _perfectly_ for 5 races, then just Kaboom.

And even in control panel (in windows) when I change gears with H-shifter, it shows wrong gears -- before racing, it did work fine.

could be a wire that is loose


Had the same happening with my G25... A quick soldering job(put the wire back into the box it got pulled out from and solder it).


A common thing that happens when you slam the gears on the H-Shifter too hard on the gear.

Keybindings were right in my configs, so it couldn't be that.
I don't want to do anything physical repairs for this wheel, so I sent it back to Logitech.

I'll then post results here.

Did you contact them before sending it off ?

I've known a few cases where they sent out a replacement but do not require the original back.

OK I got my G27 back. Now it's working fine, totally new model. It was just some hardware problem. Next time I'll call Logitech first, thanks for help everyone!
