Default Some Problems with the G-25  
I just wanted to let folks know that there may be some issues with the G-25. 1st the achoring system IE: Plastic grip levers will break if wheel unit isnt sucured in the front. I actually used a cargo pull strap to hold it to my desk ( I dont want to drill holes thru my desk for bolts) I have since found if you take 2 bolts that fit the threds and grind off the end into a point aprox. 3/8 past the edge of the wheel it will prevent the wheel to slide. but the wheel will want to lift from the front adding stress to the grip levers especially if in a heated battle during a race like Martinsville. Thats why I use a ratchet/pull cargo strap and sucure it to my desk ( Kinda okie but effective and no holes thru my desk)
2nd and the latest was the loss of reverse becaused of repeated banging of gears. Ive learned the hard way that the shifter is kinda weak so be careful.

Now for the good news. Logitech considers this to be a high end product and will replace your setup free of charge as long as you have a proof of purchase receipt to mail or fax to them. If you have any problems at all with customer support (like I did at first) just PM me and I will hook you up with the General Manager of Support direct line to discuss your problem.

I have also discussed these issues with Logitech developers and hopfully it will be resolved soon.

Good luck and happy racing !!
