G29 stuck in 2nd gear

[Konst07]

Hi all,

I'm hoping I'm in the right place and created an account just to post this question.

I've looked all over the web and posted to Reddit and still haven't got a solution.

I don't use the gearstick, it isn't even plugged in. When I start a race it jumps straight to 2nd gear which is very frustrating as I'm sure you can imagine.

I discovered that one of the pins on the connector was bent against another so I thought bending back would be the solution as it was shorting out causing it to select 2nd.

I then got to the point where I removed the entire loom, thinking that perhaps there's a short in that somewhere. Still no dice.

I've tried many restarts of the PS5, updated software on wheel.

If I go on the calibration page of GT7, it's constantly stuck in 2nd gear and I can't fathom why.

I feel like my hair is about to fall out so if there is anyone who might have a solution please let me know. Many thanks in advance.

That’s very weird, at first I thought the same as you that it must be a short/connection issue but when you said that you went to the calibration option it shows/stuck on 2. I have a g29 and can not get it to ever register a gear in the calibration part. It’s always on N.
I’m intrigued 🍻

Have you tried a G29 reset?

Press and hold the L3, L2, and PlayStation buttons

For real?😳 now I have to try that out for no good reason but just because. Or did I just take the bait hook, line and sinker🤣

It's for reseting "profiles" on other games. Actually there's a few more steps I didn't know about. Like disconnecting the pedals. I saw it here

Did you get the Sammy Hagar edition of the wheel?

(Google it. . .)

I know, I know this is a dumb idea that probably won’t work.. but. Restart your PS5 start a new account or a different racing game and see if it’s stuck in 2nd on the new game. Or also a thought play 1 race in Automatic gear and try switching back to Manual.

What happens when you plug it into a PC and check what happens there, either through the built in controller configuration/testing tools or the Logitech software?

Hi, I got the same problem, any luck figuring it out? With some games happens and with some others don't
