I'm happy to see somone that came to the same conclusion as me, i did this but with a nice looking screwdriver that has the same colors of the steering wheel!
It works well I imagine. The only downside I see is that handbrakes that are made for sim racing act as more of an analog input instead of a switch, like on the DFGT.
It actually works really well indeed, as far as downside... I don’t see one as the Mod is for the “DFGT” Wheel. Well, it’s definitely better than using a button on the steering layout... It’s all about preference I suppose and affordability. Thanks for your response Dr. Modalot.
@@freshcustomsYT I tried doing a similar mod to my DFGT. It's still a sequential shifter, but I replaced the knob on it. I have an issue where my knob is too heavy, and if I shift back or forth too quick, it jiggles and toggles between gears. Does yours do that, or is your knob lightweight?
@@dr.modalot720I use it as a shifter from time to time to and yes It's hollow and lightweight, I've never experienced the problem you have because it's rather light but also strong as it's been manufactured for heavy use as a Drill Pistol Grip as shown in the video.
I agree. The original Gear Lever is really not the best. It looks very unsatisfying to me as well. Especially when you are using it as a handbrake, lol. So this mod works really well for sequential shifting, including button assigned Handbrakes. It just improves the overall look and feel of the wheel.
Hi there, there's a nut you have to undo at the bottom of the wheel. it all comes apart after that. Unfortunately, only the top half of the Knob comes apart... That's why I had to cut it at the base of the knob.
my steering wheel is broken, so basically I unscrewed the shift gear stick but only the screw come out and now it's stuck, it doest go back, also the top bit of the gear stick removed, I need help pls

@@dr.modalot720 Sorry, but here in the UK, I am HOOTING with laughter! Thank you! I recommend "Viz" if you do not know what I am talking about!
hello, i just bought this wheel, I don't like the original handbrake, and I just see your video, I will do that, you're a genius

Feel free to check out the rest of the channel... And if you like what you see, feel free to subscribe. Enjoy the DFGT.
I though of this hy never found a video of actually how to do it lmao thanks
I bought a samurai sword shifter handle for mine and now to get it all together thanks for the video
No problem Kobie XIV, I'm sure it's going to look awesome.
Is it possible to buy a usb handbrake and use it with the driving force gt? I can’t find the answer anywhere.
yeah just bind it to a key i think
How did you take off the top half of the shifter? Is there a way to take it off without cutting anything?

DFGT: Handbrake mod + 3 pedals + belt engine + g29/g920/g923 shifter = perfect wheel. Wish i could afford all of that 🥲
pxn makes cheap h shifters if ur really low on money, I'm planning on getting one for my dfgt but I'm still looking for ways to add a clutch pedal
How can i connect a handbrake to the dfgt for ps4
Hi there. Im actually not sure. Im not sure if it's possible.
@@freshcustomsYT thanks anyway but i think im gonna put the handbrake connected directly to the wheel (for example button r3)
Can you do actual video
Hi SadderDanMan, I don't understand?
