I just recently started having this problem where GT5 thinks I'm in either first or second gear no matter what gear I shift into with the stick. Whenever I shift into 3rd or 5th gear the game still says it's in 1st. Whenever I shift into 4th, 6th or reverse the game thinks I'm in 2nd gear. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
 
Sounds like one of the wires to the pot for the "left and right" axis of the stick is no longer connected or the pot is bad. You'll have to take the shifter apart to check that.

I have taken it apart. The wire is disconnected.It doesn't seem like I can put it back together.
 
Take a photo of the part that looks broken and post a photo. I can help you fix it. If necessary, since you are in the US, you can ship it to me and I'll fix it for no charge. (Provided its fixable)

Or... Buy a new one off eBay for $30 or so...

Edited to fix my grammar. (Darn phone) :)

I called Logitech and told them that it was broken. They are sending me a replacement shifter. Thank you very much for your help and concern!

Oh nice!!! I don't know why I was under the assumption it may be out of warranty. If it is, double cool! :)
