I just received v3,5 and it s a tremendous difference over stock. So much so I say get it immediately if you buy the gearshift, it's a must have. Just know that the kit does not come with grease, so have some silicone grease handy as it is needed for the install.
+ don't forget to get an additional replacement part when you order the base V3.5, saves you 10$ of shipping in the long run. The mod is very robust, but unfortunately not indestructible. (+get your hands on the magnet shift paddle mod by 3DRap if you use those as well)
Inside the mechanism there is a ball bearing that slips between 3 holes. The the bearing being pushed into the hole keeps it in gear, it has a spring that pushes the ball bearing against the plate into the hole, if you stretch the spring little bit or have a stronger one of similar size it makes the shifter feel stronger without the mod, its a bit of fiddle but it works
I just 3D printed a pre load... 5mm by 5.4mm (hole is 5.46mm wide and spring is around 5.2mm wide). I also 3d printed my own H Pattern mod that also has a similar tactile grab of the gear stick. It's easy to find in Google. These mods combined with a better shifter knob, really improve the shifter a lot. I can send the STL files in a package if anyone wants them. Which will give you everything you need to do both mods. All you'll need, is a couple rubber bands (optional) and 6x 10mm long M3 wood screws
2:50 Simply srew the nut on the long screw, then place it in the hex hole. Unscrew, while keeping the hex hole looking up and screw the screw in from the correct side.
Thank you very much for the detailed assembly part! Wouldn't have myself finished without it. Best mod ever tho. I use it with a longer metal shift knob and lowered the shifter stand on my rig, it's awesome.
I can see why now why a lot of people are complaining about on how these mods break so easily slamming the gear shifter into gear all the time things are bound to break easily I drive in ATS/ETS simulator no problems had my logitech shifter since 2019 and just finally got round to buying this mod
Did the same thing with a couple elastics and some double sided tape along the inside where the shifter rod meets the plastic. Feels even better this mod and cost way less then having to 3d print or order jt.
I just 3D printed a pre loader cylinder for the spring that holds the ball bearing selector in place... 5mm by 5.4mm (hole is 5.46mm wide and spring is around 5.2mm wide).

Just installed this mod myself, and I was slightly disappointed with the fit. The housing itself didn't sit perfectly in the groove where the normal retention ring for the boot cover sits. Also, the housing had to worked a bit to get the top plate into place. When it's installed though, it does provide a much more secure shifting feel. When stock, the shifter can easily pop out of gear if you accidentally bump into it even with very slight force, but now, it won't come out of gear unless you mean for it to. I'd say that for the price, it seems like a pretty good mod, and I can't wait to break it in properly.
Not to mention that the shifter now doesn't really line up into the next gear you have to fully guide it to the gear otherwise it'll pop into a random gear. Still find elastics and some foam makes it way better then this
Reverse works identical to the shifter in cars such as the Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35, for example. Push the selector down vertically and into 6th gear, and you'll feel the added resistance from the reverse interlock, and you'll notice the shifter won't pop back up when you let go, so you'll know you're in reverse.
Glad I watched this. You convinced me NOT to get it. The clunking bang of the mod is completely unsettling. I got a slight extension so I could use my own knob and the gates feel more defined with the extra throw. Barely misshift. Every time you shifted with this thing it made me cringe

This was true for the early 3.3 version. Broke almost instantly. But it was due to a manufacturing error. So i got 2 extra replacement sliders (still v3.3) which are not broken but - as expected - they wear out after some days. But the 3.5 version looks way better and i guess lasts for a very long time..
@@Haris1977 my plastic gear gate cracked after 1month, The cams both broke, 2 weeks each. Mind you, a Logitech shifter is cheap, but it can take abuse. But this 3drap is not near the standard of Logitech.

It's best for Logitech to pay the modder a patent or royalty or buy it outright to include on the shifter

@@alexrodriques8423 Rubber bands for americans
Would be good idea to add a felt cushion on the plate to dampen or eliminate the sound of the shifter metal rod from banging on the plate.
It doesn't hit the plate, I show this in the review. The impact is entirely on the sliding piece.

Does it still hold up? Or it broke
After 2 months of use the plastic top plate broke on almost every gear. The metal toplate is definitely necessary
Thanknyou for your straight forward review.
Cheers Ned
I prefer to have the original leather thingy. That metal addon makes the shifter seem even smaller.

Great review. You've helped me make my decision to buy this mod.
Glad I could help
i ordered this and thew screws and the interior parts didn't come in the package, im fucking furios
You didn't order the right part then. You ordered the replacement outer.

@@ikeepgettinbanned5525 your comment is very underrated

Where can i buy this in the US? How durable is it?
My only question, how do you go into reverse? A lot of these 3D printed mods are nice, but I don't see a channel for reverse most times, just the 6.
6th gear also has reverse gear. Maybe watch a review of the Logitech shifter to see how it works.
Reverse works identical to the shifter in cars such as the Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35, for example. Push the selector down vertically and into 6th gear, and you'll feel the added resistance from the reverse interlock, and you'll notice the shifter won't pop back up when you let go, so you'll know you're in reverse.
would you get this one over Nox3d?
How's it compare to the Nox3D version you reviewed before? If you had to pick which is your preference and why?
I prefer the 3DRAP out of the two. Mainly for the stronger resistance, but I do like the gated plate too, it gives the mod a more complete appearance.
What's the best Grease to use
I'm using lithium grease, that works well.
man can you please tell me if this mod from 3drap is better than Magnetic H-Shifter Mod from gmod-uk?? which one to choose thanks
The 3DRAP mod is significantly more effective.
@@SimRacingCorner thank you 🙏
So this 3DRAP kit is superior to the protec spring as far as comparing it to the real deal?
Yes I would say so
which would you say is better? Mod cambio or the magnetic Shifters?
Magnetic shifters? Are you referring to a mod for the Logitech shifter, or a different shifter?
@@SimRacingCorner 6 gate shifter not the pedals
@@Jiyozu What 6 gate shifter exactly?
It doesn't look very reliable. Now it's much better to order a new one with Ali.
What is the name of the handbrake that you have on this video?
Mod CAMBIO! Hey mate. How does it work with reverse? Cheers for the review. 👍
Reverse is same operation as before using the mod, no problem at all.
I cant get my reverse on with the mod. 🥺
@@kojonens Reverse is 6th gear just with the stick pressed down, so are you unable to engage 6th at all?
How has it been holding up so far?
Still running fine since this review.

How does this do with dust any issues?
I made simple dust cover out of cardboard when it's not being used.
This or the Ali express shifter
How many times is harder that the original one in your opinion? Is this the hardest?
It's around 2kg, from 400-450g without the mod.
@@SimRacingCorner thank you for the information. Do know which some harder mod?
@@ilgiocomane5256 This is the strongest one I've tested. I don't know if there if is a harder one than this.
@@SimRacingCorner oh ok, thanks a lot for the answer
Wy not make it from aluminum?
How's it working as of now? I hear some people saying theirs broke...
I've since moved onto a different shifter as I review other products. So I don't have long-term testing data.
@@SimRacingCorner I ended up buying the spring from custom Sim shop, hopefully that improves the feel.
