  • Great Manual shifter
I waited forever before deciding myself to by this Thrustmaster TH8A Add-On gearbox shifter for PC. The main reason was that the price has been variating quite a lot with a minimum observed around $150. The second reason was that I was enjoying the pads shifters on my wheel and I was satisfied with it. Eventually, after getting the Sparco Handbrake, getting the manual shifter became logical too... Both are attaching to the Thrustmaster clamp which I also bought. I had to pay more than the base price but I am glad that I did because now the item is only available by other sellers and for a ridiculous price (over $200) So now I have the Thrustmaster TS-PC racer with the Ferrari GTE-F458 wheel as an add-On, the TH8A gearbox shifter, the Sparco Handbrake and the T3PA Pro pedals. I understand that it is medium range in term of quality (when compared to direct drive wheels and load cells pedals) but it makes for a wonderful immersion. As for the Thrustmaster TH8A Shifter, I find it, like all other Thrustmaster equipment, expensive but also of a great manufacture quality. Experience wise, it works as well as an H shifter or sequential. The swap from one to the other requires a screwdriver and a little bit of work but I do not expect anyone to change frequently. It is actually more than an H shifter since it has actually 8 slots (7 gears + reverse). It is very sturdy and provides a good feel as for the spring and handling. In conclusion: Yes, I greatly recommend it for a better rallye experience like Dirt Rallye 2 and all the games for which a manual gearbox would be preferable. It is easy to configure, compatible with all other Thrustmaster equipment but even more. 5 stars. ... show more

  • Almost Perfect
Now this piece was the most anticipated part of my whole setup and out of the box, it's a big boy. It's hefty and made of plenty of metal as advertised which is all a good thing. Hooked straight up no problem and functioned without a doubt. The clamp by the way is strong enough alone to not need the optional hard mount like the rest of my setup. The tension screw is nice, but wierd how just about everything else about my rig has an allen screw, including the shift plate screws, but that. Oh well honestly for how easily accessible and adjustable it is. Now the one thing that I had a problem with was that after the third day it just started to shift into different gears, and eventually stop registering at times then reconnect. I took it apart after contacting Thrustmaster, and looked at everything then put it back together. Nothing seemed wrong and after testing it again it worked fine. The fact that something could have come loose and happen again like the ground, I can't throw that last star in there. Yet when it works, it's amost perfect. As for shift knobs, it looks like aftermarket knobs will fit, but I coun't find a stock shifter to fit. They all just slid over the grooves. ... show more

  • I LOVE SHIFTING
I use this product for racing simulator games and Truck simulators, both uses i love the feel of it. The feeling of shifting feels good, it does lack some vibration, but its made up with being able to shift it hard. Its knob being just being easy to remove makes it a delight and the options to make it a handbrake or sequential shifter justify its price ... show more

  • Fantastic Quality
I currently own a Logitech G27 shifter and by far the build quality of the Thrustmaster TH8A is miles high compared to the Logitech. Having the ability to switch to sequential shifting is a huge plus. The shifting gates give solid feedback when you shift giving a solid mechanical thunk when the gear is selected. That is something that the Logitech lacked. I did like the additional buttons and hat switch on the G27 but is not a deal breaker considering the quality difference and feel. The only downside, if you can call it that, is this price which is higher than the competition. However, after seeing them next to one another and actually using both I'm more than happy to spend a few extra dollars for a shifter that should last a very long time and give me flexibility to shift using an H pattern or sequential. The second complaint I have is that Amazon decided to ship this item by slapping a shipping label directly on the box, the retail packaging box, and stick it on my doorstep. Anyone can see what it is as they walk past my door and it is a big siren that wails "Steal me!" I can understand they want to lower the amount of materials used to ship an item but that is just asking for package theft to go through the roof which will only cost them more in replacements that just using a box in the first place. I understand that a package thief will steal no matter what but openly advertising what something is might just make someone tip over the edge knowing what it is rather than what it might be. Please Amazon use common sense on this new money savings tactic. Maybe use correctly sized boxes and less packing material and leave the security in place of discretely hiding the product from open eyes. ... show more
