I agree. You will also need some solder. It should be easy to either replace the one or whatever cables are broken. And you'll have the tools to fix other stuff too. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, you could always check around your town for hobby clubs. They might be able to do it for you. Like those that build RC cars/planes.
The plug is one of many JST connectors. You could also buy a kit like this one to replace the broken cables with these. Although I'm not sure if they're exactly the same pin size though.

We might be able to give a better suggestion, if you were to tell us or show where the break is and which cables are broken.
Cheers!
I've seen that before and he doesn't remove the shift rod itself.
I was looking at this https://www.amazon.com/ODO-LUCK-Shifter-Thrustmaster-Modification/dp/B09P72SZDD and from the picture it looks like the shift rod is 2 pieces. The tapered bit is where the plastic cylinder goes which gets screwed into the part that has the magnet on the end. It would be really damn annoying if I had to tear it down ash much as Barry did, find some way to grip that very bottom part just so I can loosen the top shaft.
One of those generic Chinese ones, like this one
This one is an example, as they are sold under many different ‘brands’. I have one myself and I like it.
Something like this may help

That's an xbox 360 connector, i'm not sure if the series s will work with 360 controllers but if it does this is the cable you need: https://www.amazon.com/Wired-Controller-Breakaway-Cable-Microsoft/dp/B07R7L8KJP/ref=sr\_1\_3?keywords=xbox+360+usb
You need an M6 sized bolt.
They sell a 4-pack at Home Depot for like $2 bucks but if you need an Amazon link, here you go: https://www.amazon.com/Flanged-Flange-Hexagon-Screws-Quantity/dp/B08QRM8QCP/ref=sr_1_6?crid=38UU8F4POVBJW&keywords=m6%2Bbolt&qid=1659205133&sprefix=m6%2Bbol%2Caps%2C130&sr=8-6&th=1
I checked Amazon for sales on new phones by service providers, as they sell the phones cheapish and get their money from sales of phone service. I got two phones from Tracphone for $19.99 each.
Currently $77

I just wanted to bump this advice. I picked up a TS-XW this week and had the same issue. I grabbed a set of SAE #12-24 1/2" bolts and used a thick (~1.5mm) washer to space them from my wheel stand and it worked perfectly.
Anybody who has this issue is well advised to spend the $5 and just pick up some new bolts. FWIW this is what I ended up ordering as my local hardware store was out of that size when I stopped by.

Worked perfectly, thanks /u/Stregalaw! Hopefully Thrustmaster's quality people get on top of this. There are plenty of simple fixes, including just updating the manual to have a warning that some lots are threaded differently, but having somebody worry about damaging a brand new device that costs as much as this model of hardware simply because they can't be bothered to check their own work is pretty disappointing considering how good the wheel is otherwise.
You can get one from amazon UK
Don't mind the delivery in 4-6 weeks, check it every day, it's in stock every few days and it's delivered in 5-6 days
Here’s a link I used to replace mine that broke. Really cheap and easy to do yourself. I bought a crimping too as well but can be don’t with a small screwdriver if you don’t want to spend the money on the tool.

G29 does in fact come with a Shifter. You can choose which one you buy in most websites.
But anyways, even if you buy them separated on logitech website it's still around $100 cheaper than the thrustmasters.
The only 7+R shifter knob I could find was for the Corvette Stingray. The one listed on Amazon Canada sold out, so I ordered it through Amazon US.

Order these too man. Trust me.
Sounds like the fan to me as well. I replaced mine very easy and pretty cheap with a more powerful and quieter fan. Cools off my whee much quicker. I’ll attach a link for the fan and quick adapter.

Yea it's a load of screws and when you split the wheel you need to unplug one connector but apart from that pretty plain sailing

Didn't work out terribly well with my fixed seating/display position but you may have better luck depending on your setup. I have to position it off to the side or it blocks too much screen real-estate. That was with an ipad mini though so now that I think of it maybe I will take an old iphone and see if I can position it over the wheel. At least you can reposition it fairly easy.
There are these foots for the office chair, which prevent the chair perfectly from sliding and all is balanced. I tried lockable wheels, but they didn't work out for me.

I have a small feeling they might be bundling it with the upcoming DD wheel base. I. The meanwhile I snagged a restock of the open wheel add on here

I know it's kinda spendy, but it works very well.
It shouldn't, unless it leaves residue when peeling it off (but you should be able to clean it off with some alcohol, if that happens).
But I wouldn't recommend using masking tape, since it's usually made out of paper. If you want to wrap your wheel, get some actual grip tape (something like this)

I bought this to replace mine two days ago.
Set it to 20v use the default polarity and its good to go.
I purchased this exact one and it worked great. Just make sure they didn’t use a different connector on the Wheel than the US version.

When I got my Thrustmaster wheel I had to get a usb adapter for that plug. Something like this one (amazon.com).
Fyi I bought this power supply. The .8A one I tried first couldn’t hold enough power to stay on. You should be able to get this and just switch the cable that goes from brick to wall.
