Thrustmaster TH8A Add-On Shifter

Shift Like You Mean It — Thrustmaster TH8A Add-On Shifter

The Thrustmaster TH8A is the definitive sim racing gear shifter — a full 100% metal, H.E.A.R.T precision, universally compatible add-on shifter that brings the tactile reality of manual gear shifting to every racing simulation. Whether you're powering through hairpins in a 7-speed H-pattern or hauling a truck in sequential mode, the TH8A's realistic 13 cm metal gear stick, magnetic contactless sensors, and completely adjustable setup make it the most authentic and durable sim racing shifter available at this price point.

Note: This is an add-on shifter. A compatible Thrustmaster racing wheel base or USB connection is required.

Why the TH8A?

• 100% Metal Construction: Internal mechanism, gear stick, and clamping system are all 100% metal — exceptional solidity, realistic weight, no plastic flex, and complete stability during the hardest gear changes.

• H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology: Contactless magnetic sensors — no tact switches, no potentiometers, no mechanical wear. Unlimited product lifespan, precision never decreases. Every gear selection is exact, every single time.

• H-Pattern (7+1) and Sequential (+/-) Modes: Two shift plates included in the box — swap between 7-speed H-pattern gear layout (with reverse) and +/- sequential mode for different car types and racing disciplines.

• 360° Adjustable Rotation (Both Shifter + Clamp): Both the shift plate and the clamping system are individually rotatable by a full 360° — position the shifter at any angle to suit your cockpit, rig, or desk setup perfectly.

• Adjustable Gear-Shift Resistance: Tune the force required to push through each gear — light shifts for circuit racing, firm resistance for truck simulation or immersive road car feel.

• 13 cm Tall Realistic Gear Stick: Full-size 13 cm metal gear stick with detachable knob — compatible with all standard universal aftermarket gear knobs available in the real car accessories market.

• Internal Memory + Upgradeable Firmware: All settings (gear travel, threshold, position) saved to the TH8A's internal memory — apply to any game, any platform, without reconfiguring. Free firmware upgrade software available on PC.

• Customizable Gear Positions (PC Software): Fine-tune every gate position, threshold, and gear travel length using free downloadable Thrustmaster PC software — create the exact H-pattern geometry of any real car.

• Clamp System — Optimized for Desk + Cockpit: Wide jaw metal clamping system mounts securely on tables, shelves, or full cockpit rigs — no movement, no shift error.

• Dual Connectivity — USB + DIN: Connect via USB directly to PC, or via DIN cable to the back of compatible Thrustmaster racing wheel bases for console play.
