But, if there is not anything else broken than the black plastic thing where you attach the actual steering wheel (sorry for the lack of words here), and you could get a hold on to another one, it´s not really a big deal to change. I´ve done it once myself, and I know as much about electronics as the pig knows ´bout satellites.
But then that would ruin your excuse to get the G25
Edit: yep, it definetly looks like theres only that black plastic thing broken.
