Hi all,
Got a set of paddle shifter replacements from AliExpress. Read and watched videos on how to install and gave it a shot. The pins came out fairly easily as expected.
Three problems arose: first, when I installed the first one (+ side) and replaced the pin the shifter was locked in place. No movement back and forth whatsoever.
Second problem is when I went to remove that shifter the pin was also jammed and although I got it out eventually I did damage the head and as far as I can find these pins are not available to order by themselves.
Third, once I reinstalled the OEM paddle it also seems to be locked in place now. It hasn’t affected the way the car drives, but does not function to shift gears.
Any ideas where I went wrong?
Below are the paddles I got:
