Just placed my order for both shifter and the mod! Can’t wait and hopefully I made the right choice between this and the SHH Shifter but you really seem to like it better so I’ll give it a go!
Thanks for the order! You won't be disappointed. The SHH is a good shifter, and it does have a much better sequential mode, but I would put my money on the H shifter mode with this mod any day of the week. Also, I'll be doing a side-by-side comparison with the SHH very soon so stay tuned.
Hey dude love the things you do thats the spirit we need, but i was really curiuos if you could maybe make desk clamps for this shifter because i couldnt find any on your homepage and i dont really want to buy them off a seperate page. Maybe you could look into that but all in all i love you and your work keep it up❤
Oh yes. We are currently unable to ship to Russia. However, I will let you know if this changes. If you contact us through email from our website, I can provide updates.
Awesome work! I've been looking at getting a shifter and think this might be the one for me! Looking at getting the shifter from AliExpress- what version works with your mod? I noticed there was one with a hall effect sensor and a 6/7 version?
My recommendation is go for the 6 with hall sensors. In stock form, it feels a bit cheap and is really loud but with these mods, I can't see myself wanting to upgrade for a while. Also, the hall sensor ones, I'm building another mod that works exclusively with that model.
Hello! I want to buy it but for my country (Brazil) it's basically 3 times the cost of the shifter from aliexpress because of the taxes. What's the material you used on the top plate to act as a sound dampener, so I can try to replicate it with materials sourced locally? I love the shifter but the noise is causing me trouble at home haha
Hi. Sorry to hear that. It's such a shame about the import taxes into Brazil. We have had several people from there wanting to buy but the cost is too much. I am currently setting up a Patreon for people to purchase the STL files so you can download the files the print yourself. Please subscribe and I will post a video soon with details.
@@max.harris Yup! We have a range of shift knobs but here is the one in the video: oldboysimracing.com/products/sim-racing-jdm-manual-shift-knob-generic-usb-h-pattern-shifter-fanatec-moza-shifter-simagic-mme-simsport-simvertex
@@oldboysimracing yes I don't know what's wrong. Next to the product it says sold out and I I want to change any options it says unavailable for all of them. Maybe it's because I'm EU based or something.
Hi, there seemed to have been an issue with shipping to certain countries. EU should have no issue so you can try to order again and let me know if you have issues. Thanks!
Does this work with the simjack shifter? It looks like the same housing, and mechanism inside, but I don't see where your electrics are? The simjack has the gates and electrics at the bottom of the unit, with just an open hole at the top. Any ideas if this mod will be compatible?
Just wondering how much of a difference does the gasket make? Also do you have the files by any chance if your willing to share? I'm in the UK so tax and shipping doubles the cost of this unfortunately.
The bottom gasket helps quite a bit. Specifically with 3 issues. 1. The wear of the bottom aluminum plate. 2. The metal-on-metal clack when moving side to side. 3. The overall feel that results from the above. Regarding files, if there's enough interest, I may set up a Patreon to share not only the files but details to optimize prints and possibly the whole design process.
Has anyone from the UK purchased the mods? Just wondered if you had to pay import costs on top. Cant seem to find anything close to what OB offers my side of the water 😢
After owning this kit for little over a week now I can say it definitely blows the original kit out the water, feels and sounds way better! 😁
Happy to hear from another happy customer! Enjoy your re-born shifter.
I already have your top plate, and just ordered the heavy springs. Can't wait for the next mod you put forth for this shifter. Thanks!
Thanks for your support! I'm confident you're going to love the spring mod. The next mod is going to be an even bigger game-changer! Stay tuned.

Going to buy the kit with the shift gate, bottom gasket and springs soon! Can't wait
You won't be disappointed! We hope it enhances your Sim experience . Drop us a line to let us know what you think of the mod when you do get it.
These all look like a great selection of mods. We look forward to trying them out ourselves soon 😏
it so cool, i was searching how to make my shifter quiet
This mod also makes it feel much more realistic too!
@@oldboysimracing its sad that i cant buy it, because i live in russia :(
Oh yes. We are currently unable to ship to Russia. However, I will let you know if this changes. If you contact us through email from our website, I can provide updates.
@@oldboysimracing Thanks a lot man, it is cool to see thats you are improving budget simracing. Love you
i would rather like to have softer springs on the top. feels perfect on the lower part already.

Does modding the shifter using new springs, bottom gasket and new top plate prevent you from using the included sequential mode?
Good stuff
what size of the spring did you use?

Brasil loves u ♥
Obrigado! We love Brazil too!
how about the generic sequential shifter from ali any mods for that
Oh this is for the generic aliexpress shifter. Link for it is in the description.
@@oldboysimracing yea i can see that there is also a sequential one which is pretty good i wish i could increase the strenght on that one too
hey, what shift knob is that? it looks much better than the stock one
nevermind i found the video on your profile!

Everything is out of stock. Will there be more available for purchase?
Hello, are you sure it's showing out of stock? Everything should be updated here:

Hi. Unfortunately, this mod is not currently compatible with the Sim Jack shifter. I may develop one for that model if there's enough interest.

@@oldboysimracing great idea, keen for those files as shipping (to AUS) costs more than the actual item
Has anyone from the UK purchased the mods? Just wondered if you had to pay import costs on top. Cant seem to find anything close to what OB offers my side of the water 😢
Import duties are exempt for goods under £135 I believe. We've had a dozen customers for the UK and no one has mentioned they've had to pay duties.
