Logitech G27 shifter whinks all gears are 1 button

[carlgallagher1]

so i bought a logitech g27, used as its the best i could afford, basically they shifter thinks 1st, 3rd and so on are the same button so there all 1st gear and the same for the bottom row thinking they are all 2nd gear and ive tried a few ways to change it even tried re installing the drivers, configuring them via assetto corsas configure system, i even tried x padder all though its for an xbox pad i figured it might tell the difference between the buttons but it still thinks its the same button, the paddles dont even get picked up in thee Logitech gaming software and so im out of ideas ive looked everywhere and cant find any one with the same problem as mine, any ideas?

just noticed this is probably the wrong place to post this, any help would be grateful anyways though!!

Obviously something is wrong if the paddles don't work even with the logitech profiler.
Are you sure you downloaded this driver version?

Yer ive seen this before on the G25 and G27 one of the wires inside the shifter unit has come disconected (most likely broken apart from the connector)
This is stoping pot inside from recognising lateral movement on the shifter so it can only see forwards and backwards.

here i have found a picture of the internals of the G27 shifter

you can see the wires in the front of the piccy it just needs to reconnected if you are familiar on how to use a soldering iron and heat shrink you should have no problems.

note the wires are very fineand easily damaged.

did you go in the game settings for controller and load the G27 + Hshift profile? once you load it in the game and then also check the box use separate shifter, it should work.

I have the G27 and could not use the manual shifter in the begining and was having a similar issue. Once I did that, it was all good :P

Did you even read the post by carlgallagher1 at all ?
(im sorry to bash you for trying to help another person but....)

The device in question g27 shifter is out putting multiple button pushes for the same movement
in multiple programs including xpadder this has nothing to do with selecting profiles in game.

Also the problem seems to be interfearing with the paddle shifters on the wheel preventing it from shifting. (most likely due to the hardware problem with the H shifter)

Its real simple to take appart the shifter and have a look in side dont be scared.
1.You can take the gray plastic h shifter patern off the shifter knob to reveal a screew that undoes the shifter knob.

2.Take out the 6 hex head screews around the H shifter base that hold the shifter boot in place and lift the boot off aswell.

now you should be able to see if any damage has been caused to these wires

of course you will be looking from above but any damage will be easy to see
and you can shift with it like this to see the movement action.

(both of mine were still under warrenty when this happend to me so logitech replaced the entire units).

I wish you luck on your repairs and may the force be with you.

Here is a break down guide for the shifter just incase you need it.

EDIT :- replace missing image links with new ones and add break down guide for shifter.

hey thanks for all your comments guys ive recently found out if i turn the steering wheel 90 degrees to the rightish the paddles work haha, i may have to have a gander inside of it like donkyboy said :) still no look with the gear stick though....

Just connected my G27 to a new PC and clutch wasn't working, most of the buttons in the device profile were totally wrong (3rd gear was 5th, higher gears were some other buttons, wheel buttons were wrong et cetera).

Looks like the G27 does not work correctly when connected to a USB 3.0 port. Make sure you connect it do a USB 2.0 port specifically, refer to your motherboard manual which ones on the back panel are 2.0s and 3.0s, and your motherboard/case manual which ones on the front panel are 2.0 or 3.0.

I know it's a /necro, but I haven't found a solution through Google yet, and this is a top result. Hope it helps, mine works all fine now

Thats odd I have my G27 plugged into a USB3 hub that is connected to a USB3 port, Seems to work just fine I use it almost every day.

[jackd23]

Awkward. I tried it on three out of the four USB 3.0 ports of my MSI 970 GAMING motherboard on Win7 x64, and it's all messed up for me. It only works normally on a USB 2.0 port.

Hmmmm I am on z97 chipset maybe the USB drivers are differant in some way is only thing I can think of.

After quick google search I am seeing lots of people with Windows 10 having problerms with USB3 and G27 being recognised incorrectly as a Driving Force wheel casing things to not work right.

I belive this was a MS update that caused this problem and there is a simple fix for this if this is your problem. I did have this problem my self a few weeks back and I used this video guide https://youtu.be/SV0kYPRLboE it solved my issue.

that's more of a software-problem on Microsoft's and/or Logitech's end, shipping a faulty identification table with their forced update. The first problem is why Logitech wants new users to install their dirver-package first, before connecting their wheel --- the second problem is that the package shipping through Windows Update without your explicit consent overwrites the necessary settings again, so you need to take precautions to disable that specific auto-update.
There are how-to's and work-arounds availabe, yet it requires you to put in your time and effort to make use of them.
Best work-around in this case: don't use Windows 10 (especially the non-pro, homeuser version) if you can help it.

hey guys the problem for me on this was the gear shifter, it worked perfect when i unplugged it, in the end i replaced it and it worked fine with the same steering wheel
