#Sim racing sequential shifter manual#
The manual is digital and based on the previous version, but it can still be used for the 2019 version. In the package you will find the shifter already pre-assembled with a table mount bracket, hardware for table mounting, the new 2019 gear knob, the shaft between the gear knob and the shifter-base and a mounting plate for t-slot mounting. You will receive a sturdy brown box containing all parts separately packed in bubble wrap to prevent damage. The packaging and its contents are well taken care of by Aiologs. All in all, the package was on its way from Russia to the Netherlands for 8 days.

You will receive a neat email from Aiologs containing the tracking data and links to the manual and software for the adjustable lighting. With a sequential gearbox, the shift lever is always in the same position for the next shift. With the “H” pattern, the shift lever location changes, so you need to think about where to place your hand depending on the gear you’re in. You don’t have to think, “Let’s see, I’m in second gear, so I have to go up a gear to go third.” You simply push the lever back – it’s the same movement for every gear.ģ. With a sequential gearbox, you simply push the lever up or down for each gear change.Ģ. For example, to go from 2nd to 3rd gear on the “H” pattern, you have to move the lever up / down or down / up in a non-straight position, that takes time. Quality DIY shifters are like rare birds difficult to glimpse and nearly impossible to procure.1. If you are truly sick, you may want to build your own Shifter. Sim Racing Sequential Shifters: HE Shifter ~$210 Sim Racing H Pattern Shifters: Frex H ~$503įor me, it’s a far more immersive experience to use a sequential shifter than wheel paddles, especially when driving street and rally cars. None of the prices shown below include shipping. Below are the H Pattern shifters (what some call “sim porn”) that check many of the boxes for the quality immersion bar that’s continually being raised.

Most sim drivers looking to recreate the experience of driving a car will appreciate the feel of high quality equipment. The “touch points” of a car are extremely important to car designers and you should pay attention to them as well as you construct your simulator. However, physically taking your hand off the wheel and rowing the gears can provide a far more tactile driving experience. Shifters won’t make you faster, in fact they will probably make you slower. The Frex reminds me VERY much of my old race car. I used to drive a Ralt F3 fitted with a similar shift connected to a Hewland Dog Box. People have commented the Frex H+ shifter feels more like the bolt action in a protoype car or a vintage race car. The only other truly high quality H pattern on the market is the 2019 Frex H-SHIFT+ When you pull the handle you aren’t simply moving a stick from one spot to another, you are moving an entire shifter linkage just like there would be in an actual gearbox. The Pro-Sim H shifter uniquely accomplishes this by incorporating a massive shifting linkage that gives this shifter it’s heft. Other sim shifters lack significant mass to truly feel like gears are being shifted. If you have a sequential race car, you need a great sequential shifter to train with.Īssuming price is not a constraint, the most realistic H Pattern shifter currently on the market is Quaife Engineering Pro-Sim H Shifter and nothing comes close: If you are training for track days with a three pedal car, you need an H pattern shifter with a realistic gear engagement.
Almost every consumer wheel has paddle shifters, but when it comes to tricking your brain into thinking you’re actually in a car, standalone USB shifters are the only way to go.
