Reddit mentions: The best automotive replacement shifter & parts

Cheap, or expensive, is relative. What budget do you have to work with? Basically, I would say in total for the rig, around $700-800 can get you something pretty decent, then you're looking for the actual console/PC and the games themselves as an additional price.

For a fairly cheap, but still best bang-for-buck rig, I would recommend:

• Any of the T300 + T3PA bundles, for example the T300 Ferrari Alcantara Edition - Great wheel, best entry level wheel by far. With decent pedals, optional brake mod included that, imo, improves the feel a lot. Clutch included.
  
  
• TH8A shifter - Fairly cheap, all things considered,
  
  
• Simetik K2 cockpit - Very sturdy and customizable for its price, and also doesn't have that annoying bar down the middle that basically inhibits you from heel-and-toe downshifting that most of the other cheap rigs have.
  
  All in all this comes down to $885 as of right now, if you want to save a little bit you could go for the original T300 GT Edition instead and it'll be $817.
  
  The Simetik K2 is by far the best rig you can get in that pricebracket, but if you must save some more either skip the shifter for now or get a Playseat Challenge, it isn't the sturdiest but again, I do not recommend getting a rig with the pole in between your legs, I would personally rather play at a desk and an office chair than that, as it, at least for me, makes it really hard to heel-and-toe, and I love racing old DTM and GT cars with manual gearboxes and couldn't do without that.

Entirely depends on your budget - but at the very least something with Force Feedback, like the Logitech g29 with shifter - that's a very common setup. $200-450 is the figure you'd be looking at - depending on if what you want is on sale. A bit cheaper if you don't want a shifter and want to use the paddle shifters behind the wheels.

https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-G29-Driving-Shifter-Bundle/dp/B016JBE8LU $299

I chose one a little higher priced, the Thrustmaster T300RS GT edition (3 pedal setup not the cheaper 2 pedal one without the clutch) as well as the TH8A shifter. I got the wheel on sale, full price on shifter. https://i.imgur.com/Y8Gg5oO.jpg

https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-T300-RS-Racing-Wheel-PlayStation/dp/B01M1L2NRL?th=1 $388 + https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-PC-PS3-PS4-Xbox-One/dp/B005L0Z2BQ $149


These wheels are much more than toys. You can feel the wheels on the road, traction loss, how much torque the cars have, if you slam into a wall the wheels can damn near rip your hands off (you can change the % of feedback to lower it). It makes the experience in VR feel super real. I'd say a wheel carries as much importance in VR racing as the headset does.

The craziest feeling I've gotten so far as just sitting at the start of a race idling in a '66 Mustang. The entire hood of this car is shaking back and forth like Dom's muscle cars in Fast and the Furious.....and the WHEEL is shaking left and right with the car exactly how you would expect something with that much power to. That thing was like 100% torque and it felt amazing.

Even if it takes some saving, I highly recommend one of them - although I would definitely wait until Black Friday to get $100 ish off of either one you choose. The sale prices for these are quite tolerable when they occur.

A stand for the wheel is much nicer than a table for mounting, but they can be pricey as well. From $100 and up. My Apiga AP2 stand was $280 but worth every penny to not have a bar in between your legs. Only $240 now and supports most wheels. https://www.amazon.com/APIGA-Foldable-Racing-Simulator-gearshift-ALL/dp/B00XBPYUIY

G920 bundle, includes the wheel, standard 3 pedal set, and their 6+R H-gate shifter, all for about $308. This fits your criteria near-perfectly.

Thrustmaster TMX Pro package, includes the wheel and T3PA pedals, all for about $270 (currently). Unfortunately, you'd have to buy their shifter separately, which can push the price up to about $400 altogether.

Similarities

Both wheels are not interchangeable, so you can't change the rim itself. Both are fully compatible with Xbox One and PC.

Differences

Because of the TMX's belt/gear hybrid system, its FFB is generally considered considerably smoother than the G29/G920's helical gear system, and the T3PA pedals are better than the Logitech pedals in both size and resolution (accuracy). Not to mention that Thrustmaster's shifter can not only be used as a handbrake in sequential mode, but is a 7+R shifter, which is pretty handy when you're playing games with high-end cars. The best part: if you get this bundle and end up wanting to upgrade to the TX (the TMX's big brother) later on, you could use the shifter and pedals you already have with the TX base.

On the other hand the G920's base an be hard mounted (the TMX can only be clamp mounted), and has a leather-on-metal wheel, compared to the TMX's rubber-on-plastic wheel, if that matters to you.

I assume instead of GTE you mean the T300 RS GT Edition.

This is the T300 RS GTE, and $400 is not a good price for it.

The difference is the GT Edition has better pedals than the GTE.

re: The T150. There is the Pro version that has the 3 pedal set, but it's currently unavailable on Amazon.

You can also get a separate 3 pedal set like the T3PA, or some refurbished G27 Pedals and the Leo Bodnar Adapter.

For a budget first-time wheel, maybe look second-hand? The G29 is mechanically exactly the same as the G27, and the G27 can normally be picked up for c. $200 or less second-hand.

Also bear in mind, the G29 does not come with a shifter, but the G27 does. If you want a shifter for the G29 you'll need to spend probably a minimum of c. $60 for the Logitech Shifter. However, the Logitech Shifter is pretty shit, so you might be better off getting at least the TH8A.

What's he difference between the G29, T150 and T300?

If you're comparing all the 3 pedal set versions, then the pedals are all virtually equal.

The difference is mainly FFB.

The G29 FFB is fine, but has a noticable deadzone at the top and can sometime feel a little bit notchy.

The T300 FFB is smoother, faster, stronger and quieter than the G29 and has virtually no deadzone. It's significantly better, but maybe not $150 better (depends on what it's worth to you).

I've been told the T150 FFB is somewhat between the G29 and T300, but I've not tried it myself.

Just ordered a shift stopper from unknown china company on amazon and popped that bad boy in after about 30 minutes and two small adjustments, wish I did this waaaaay earlier like when I got the car...it’s similar in design, build etc to perrin’s shift stopper but I’m a cheap bastard — it was cheap and worked great on my 2018 wrx base. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BQH23K7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LyBvCb0VXG5ZM very easy install just take your time as some of the hardware you will remove and reattach is super tiny and if I didn’t leave a Home Depot receipt under the shifter linkage I’d have lost a nut twice lol. Good luck on choosing a short shifter kit I know kartboy and several other guys make em!

The 3 pedal is the best part of these wheels, and a lot of people continue to use them even after upgrading to Fanatec/TT. The Logitech shifter is sold separately now, and imo it's not worth the $60 they charge for it--save up for better quality. G25/27 wheels used to be a great value because they included 3 pedals + shifter for around $250-300 in an era when higher tier belt drive Thrustmaster wheels were around $500 just for the wheel and pedals.


A good shifter is going to cost you 100-150, so will a good set of pedals. But you should own a basic wheel like the TT TX for a few months to decide if you use it enough to warrant investing in higher end pedals/shifter. A lot of people buy these things and they just end up sitting in a closet being used a few times a year (if that).

Originally I had planned to do a shifter rebuild today. I had a few of the OEM Bushing, but cut a corner somewhere and got this Doorman shifter rebuild kit from Amazon. And it didn't work the moment I took it out of the box. turret bushing and others weren't the same.

So I had this MiataRoadster shifter that I bought during the Christmas sale. I wasn't planning on putting it on today, but since I already took off my shifter. I went ahead and installed it. Installation should be straightforward. Just follow this guide it will help.

As for the Pros and Cons. The quality is really nice, throws are super short it took me a minute to get use to it, and to be honest I'm still not use it to it yet. You'll probably be laughing at how crazy fast you shift now. Only did a quick night run with it a few hours ago so not much else to say really.

Cons. I would say it's stiffer than stock. Even though the throws are shorter I was thinking that there would be less work involved, and sometimes I feel like I have to force it in gear? Not sure if there's any break it process and if it gets any better. Also, another con, this may only pertain to me, but I'll just throw it out there. It was difficult for me to downshift into 1st gear. Again, not sure if that was my error, but it happened a few times were I had to shift back to neutral from 2nd in order to get into 1st.

I posted this above, It can be cheap but if you want something that feels right.. it's not so cheap.

) on amazon is $160. It comes with pedals. But honestly after a month I upgraded to much better pedals and then bought a shifter ended up costing me over $400 by the end of it all lol. You can get away with just the wheel and default pedals though.

I can recommend my setup:

Get a extra shifter like the TH8A

Total cost: 1070$

Of course you could get even better options on the market. But IMO it is the best compromise between cost, reliability and quality.

Yes it is, you replace it with a good aftermarket one like this one. I also have this in my 02 GT. Shorter shifts, tighter feel, and much better springs.

I just bought a new 13' manual R/T. I managed to talk them down a grand or two. But with you targeting a used R/T I think it will differ heavily on the person you are dealing with, and the condition of the car. Whether it be a dealership or private owner.

As for the shifter, I purchased this mopar brushed aluminum shifter. And I couldn't be happier with it. In my opinion its a lot more comfortable than the original, and it's quite easy to install. I can take some pictures of it if you'd like.

If you are going to play ETS2 or ATS, get an SKRS. This is the one I use, and it is amazing. Pricey, sure; But it is amazing quality, and it really adds to the experience: https://www.amazon.com/Shifter-Replacement-Logitech-Thrustmaster-EasyJakeBrake-Windows/dp/B07DVW2WYK/ref=sr_1_16?keywords=skrs&qid=1573415326&sr=8-16

Not bad. I think I saw it at £200 the other week for all 3.

I’ve heard that the G920 has some reliability issues and that the TMX is probably better to go with if you get the Pro set with the T3PA pedals.

If you’re not too bothered about the shifter straight away I’d get the TMX. I have it and the wheel is great for the price bracket, just steer clear of the 2 pedal set if you have the budget to go a step further. Some links below so you can have a look;

ThrustMaster TMX PRO Steering Wheel + Pedalboard https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01M5ALXJD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_6RUpDb20TDV5F

Yup! You get the “teeth grinding” feeling. Buy one of these:

PERRIN Shifter Stop Compatible with Subaru WRX 2015-2017 and 2018-19 WRX with OEM Short Shifter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019D8RK5W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ORxKDbZWJJYPF

Very easy install. It def helps but doesn’t eliminate it entirely. It really tightens up the shifting. Also, get yourself a weighted shift knob (400 grams +) and that will also help!

Edit: adding link to install vid that I used. Hope this helps!

> Does the wheel come with transmission stick?

I wouldn't call it a transmission stick. This is my wheel, wich is on the cheap side. It has a stick but is just like two buttons you can push with it. More expensive wheels let you connect better sticks: https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-TH8A-Add-Gearbox-Shifter-Xbox/dp/B005L0Z2BQ/

or if you have money to burn you can buy something like this

For reference, this is my setup, pictured is the F1 wheel, but I have the Alcantara wheel as well, so feel free to ask questions.

For anyone wondering, it's a T300 RS wheel, TH8A Shifter and T3PA pedal set. All from Thrustmaster. The chair is a Challenge from Playseat. And a PSVR, obviously.

Bonus tip, the T3PA pedals come with the conical brake mod. It’s well worth installing. Also, cut out a piece of carpet and stick it to the pedal base for a bit of extra comfort.

You can buy lt from amazon or any good game retailer.

If you want it for the xbox one make sure you get the TH8A shifter. There's another shifter which doesn't I nearly made the mistake.

You have to update the firmware on this before it works. Yep this shifter has its own firmware, So does the wheel. Easy enough to update unplug both and plug them into a pc and download updates

Two tips for your WRX mate:

1. Perrin shifter stop. It'll make shifting so much better feeling. It eliminates the shifter gate slop that's prevalent from the factory.

2.. If you aren't worried about tuning, a tune goes a hell of a long way in these cars. It literally made a night and day difference in the way mine drives. The throttle-by-wire system in the WRX is very touchy in stock form. 30% throttle pretty much equals 100%. Tuning eliminates that, and gives you a natural pedal travel. Not to mention the stock tune is just junk.

Anyways, have fun, and welcome to the Subaru family!

Could get the cheaper T300 GT if you want but the alcantera rim is worth it for that small price increase.

Its been great!

I have yet to run into any issues with the wheel itself, though I feel I should warn you that if you're on carpet, the pedals don't have carpet spikes. So, you'll need to have something weighty either behind them or holding down the front. Otherwise, they will tip backwards when you hit the brake pedal.

Also, the price dropped to $150 for a couple of weeks not too long ago. It's back to $200 now, but I wouldn't be surprised if it goes on sale again in the next few months, if you're willing to wait.

As for getting a shifter, you can, but it's expensive. The only one I know of that's compatible is the TH8A.

Feel free to reply here or PM me if you have any more questions. :D

The only reason I link these are because they interlock. other companies use a glorified flat washer that's a little awkward to keep together while installing(helped a buddy install a set of em). These steeda ones are just easier.

These are what I bought. Excellent machining, easy install but the Mountune ones are essentially the same thing. Pick between the two depending on who's sticker you want.

Thanks for the diagram! So I found this kit on Amazon and I wasn't sure if it's the right one but it appears to be. Then I was just going to get an OEM linkage like this one. Now I found the pivot bushings here is that all the parts I need?

Realistically however you can get away with just the wheel on its own clamped to as desk or something if budget is an issue. the pedals it comes with are ok but I had some foam down the back of the brake to add a little resistance

Yeah, it just plugs in via USB. This one is pricey, but supposedly very nice: https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-PC-PS3-PS4-Xbox-One/dp/B005L0Z2BQ/

  It's really not that far off when you consider that Fanatec is broadly considered higher quality than Thrustmaster. I was ready to go all-in on Thrustmaster before I added it all up and realized I might as well keep saving and get the Fanatec stuff.

Get a Thrustmaster wheel over the Logitech wheels. The technology in the Thrustmaster wheels is far far superior to the notchy gear drive of the Logitech. I suggest getting the following

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015KJ0SES/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_3?pf_rd_p=1944687622&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B004J6KRD6&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0ET5925JQKKMT3HMJ4TA

You get a full size rim (logitech uses a very small unrealistic rim size.) You can also add a shifter if you prefer that.

I got both the bushing and shift stop from Amazon due to prime and cheaper price.

The Invidia R400 is louder at cold starts and its a deep sound. At idle, it sounds stock. Below 2.5k rpm is not too loud and but does get louder at higher rpms. I do love the deep bass sound. I typically try to shift below 3k rpm when leaving my Apt community in the morning. Wife says her 18 Stock Mustang 5.0 is still louder :/

https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-TH8A-Add-Gearbox-Shifter-Xbox/dp/B005L0Z2BQ

I believe this is the only one that's compatable with modern Thrustmasters, They're extremely popular so the prices probably won't be much lower than $100 any time soon

The fake chrome was peeling off of my e-brake button so I found a cheap replacement on amazon and it is amazing how much better it looks and feels.

You could also go for the Thrustmaster T300 with the Alcantara wheel and T3PA pedals and the TH8A shifter for less money than the bundle with a better wheel.

You'll need a new shift boot collar otherwise the boot will just sag and not made with the new knob you buy.

Also comes in black.

A 10 x 1.5 threaded knob is what you'll need. Mine does not spin (now). If it did, I could probably use some loctite on the thread to prevent it from spinning.

Fanatec do some nice ones, expensive though. Thrustmaster also do them.

This one from Amazon. It’s not screw on; you have to fasten it with three screws, but it fits snug. It doesn’t look right with the normal reverse lockout. It sits up a lot higher, almost like a truck shifter. The reason I cut my shifter down was to make it look alright. The reverse lockout ring is actually in the boot, it’s more difficult to get in reverse, but it’s a decent theft deterrent too lol.

I changed on my 05. It was a 5 minute job. I have only had replacement bushing on for a few months. Seems to be holding on well.

i dont know if this is similar to what you want?

Amazon UK and Zavvi (reputable UK seller) both have the TH8A in stock:

http://www.zavvi.com/xbox-one-accessories/thrustmaster-th8a-add-on-shifter-for-ps4-xbox-one-ps3-pc/11073267.html

Sure. This is the one I ordered.

The shipping might take a while, but if you can find a domestic one with the same thread size, it will work too.

  Oh, and I put a bunch of foam behind my pedals.

so you'd suggest the below configuration over the Logitech one? Is there a reason I should stay away from Logitech?

Wheel

shift

seat

Orange Trim

Paddle Shifter Extensions

I don’t know if any speedometer color changes you might have to remove the whole panel and switch out the led lights for maybe a colored on or RGB lights but again, i’m not familiar with this.

I've got a similar setup and this works great

I just checked Amazon UK, where I'm lurking (probably not helpful if you're across the sea), and they have them in stock. However, I couldn't believe the price. They're about 75% more expensive than when I bought mine.

If you are on PC you have a number of choices for shifters. Since all of the shifters will use USB it is seen as a separate device and you just map it.

The shifter you asked about is probably the lowest priced option but you do have more options. Here are a few to think about.

The Thrustmaster TH8A can be changed from gated to sequential in about 2 minutes.

Fanatec also has 2 shifters. A sequential and a gated/sequential version.

sorry for formatting I'm in mobile. I have this one in my 2016 wrx and it works fantastic, it's a part that saving a few bucks on is not going to injure your car.

/u/alsenan This isn't true, but the answer is unfortunately not great. The better one is made by Thrustmaster at $150:
