: If you look at the instruction sheet that came with the sticks (assuming you got one) it shows that the plastic actuator sleeve has a larger OD for the 8-way than for the 4-way.
: I think if you just make a new sleeve that has the larger OD you will be OK.

: If I remember correctly, the size was 5/8" for the 8-way.

Thanks for the response. The docs say .600 for 8 way and .500 for 4 way. Are these common parts
that can be bought at a place like home depot?
I measured the diameter of the actuator and it's
5/8". So I guess my next question is, why does
it behave like a 4 way? With a lot of effort
I can get it to do diagonals but I really need
to push it.
