Question about a G29 wheel?

18 Feb 2019

I’ve looked everywhere and there seems to be no help so I’ll ask you guys

Is there any way to stop the high pitch squeaking when turning the wheel. I know you can lubricate it but my friend did that and it didn’t work
When you turn the wheel a little bit there is a small squeaky noise kinda like a window that is being cleaned. Is that normal?
There is a small thud thud thud when you turn the wheel to the right around 3/4 of the way round
The shifter makes a clicking sounds from 5th to 6th and kinda does that from 3rd to 4th. It also has this thing where you post down to put it in reverse and it is in the reverse position but you have to push it hard to get it in reverse. Backing up in euro truck simulator is where I notice this the most because I back up my trailer and put it in reverse but it goes to 6th so I push pretty hard and then there is a 50% chance it will go to reverse. Is this normal. Any help would be great.

I had the same squeaking issue with my G920. For some reason, the noise went away just by sitting for a few months.

you cant remove the high pitched noise as that is caused by it being gear drive rather than belt, lubrication usually makes it even worse

Don’t think u can do anything much about the squeaky noise but the h - shifter sounds pretty normal, mines a bit like that

yes putting into reverse is a bit weird but its normal

well i dont know what these sounds are
just remember that this is a gear driven wheel
so it will make a bit of noise
now if you can record the sounds and post it here so we can hear them that would be nice

I tried to record it but it barely comes up. But after hearing a few comments as well as digging a bit more online. Some people say just use it for a few months and it will go away so I hope that’s the issue
