Message: [QUOTE="Rob Brown, post: 13351750, member: 264274"] [USER=297564]@Jimmy777[/USER] I opened up the pole. [USER=314818]@Darryl Renfro[/USER] I popped open the shifter. Even when left in neutral due to using paddle shifters, I was getting all kinds of crazy shifts. It disappeared if I unplugged the shifter. Well, the first picture shows a little metal fragment that may explain why that was happening. [ATTACH=full]991459[/ATTACH] I watched some guy’s video on boobtube about placing electrical tape under the R-1-3-5-7 circuit board. (You mentioned trying this also). I thought it couldn’t hurt though, I did it. He received a bunch of positive comments. The forward-neutral-rearward board had the original electrical tape a little out of place. I replaced it. This board looked like it actually could have a grounding issue without the tape, as evidenced by the pins that peeked through the back of the board. The ones showing don’t make contact but there were others that do. [ATTACH=full]991460[/ATTACH] The R-1-3-5-7 board and magnet are tiny as you wrote. Wow, this isn’t an easy fix. Fanatec [I]will certainly[/I] address in the next design! Too bad all the Fanatec news is about a new entry level lines . . . Still have to clean and grease. Haven’t found any conclusive evidence of the grinding. I also want to see if the pressure on the ball bearing can be increased to make the H shifting more crisp. [/QUOTE]
