You were pretty confident with those gearshifts. Is the shifter comfortable to use? Any missed shift issues? I have a pretty well used t150 pro and just could never afford the TH8A and now that a cheaper option is available, I'm really considering getting the TH8S. Thanks for the upload, and nice driving!
Thanks! Yeah from time to time I still miss shifts, mostly because of letting go the clutch too early. It takes a little bit of time to get used to, but once you do, it is very satisfying to use. I honestly see no reason for spending double on a TH8A, to me the shifting action feels very similar (I have tried a TH8A in store). I would really recommend the TH8S! Do keep in mind though that the TH8S can only be mounted with the built in clamp, and the TH8A can be secured with screws as well… (the TH8S clamp is fine for me however)
I bought it for my TMX pro (same thing I believe) and it works good, I mostly play ETS2, though. One thing to keep in mind the material under the shifter is a thin cloth. I put a winter hat on mine to keep things out of it when not in use.
I also added a 1x4x4 piece of wood with adhesive carpet squares stuck to both sides to put between the clamp and my driving stand, it raises the shifter to its max height so I don't have to reach quite as low.@@Visual_Racer
Hi! I just wanted to know if it works even without a clutch? If you upshift or downshift, does it change gears if you don’t use the clutch because I dont have one? Please answer cause I don’t want to buy it and it won’t work. Thank you!
Hi! When I use cars that have a semi automatic transmission, then I can shift without using the clutch. For manual cars however, it will make a grinding noise and stay in neutral if you try to change gear without the clutch, so I don’t think it will work.
@@Visual_Racer Thank you so much! Is there a transmission available in the tuning parts that make the shifter work without clutch on every car? Like the fully customizable racing transmission?
Yes, there is a fully customizable transmission for just about every car so just install that and you should be fine! Just be sure you don’t install the “fully adjustable manual transmission”

Nice, You're right about the material under the shifer, dust and crap could get in and be hard to clean.

I’m trying to use this shifter on ps5 but it doesn’t seem to recognize it :(
Do you have it connected through the wheelbase?
No heel and toe brother?
