Sega Racer Fans... Help me find a Shifter part for SuperGT
The shifter on my Super GT started acting funny. It wasn't in the expected gear. At first I thought one of the microswitches had gone bad, but after replacing them it made no difference.
A looked for other causes and found out it's a mechanical issue. The switch on the "top" (meaning pointed toward the monitor) doesn't always get pressed enough and it might or might not register. The reason for this appears to be that the "hard" rubber pieces that goes on the bottom of the shifter shaft has broken in half.
This is part SPG-2152. Does anyone know of a place that offers it? I looked on the web (google search, happ) but didn't see it anywhere.
I can see a couple of options to rig up a working solution, but I thought I'd start by looking for the original part.
Thanks!
