NEW Shifter that WON’T Break the Bank! 🤑 Thrustmaster TH8S

[@trafficracer124]

Idk why people modify it all the time i like stuff as is but to each their own

[@hotdogmanpyro]

I’m pretty sure you can take off the knob the same way the Logitech one gets taken off, you just gotta pry out the top logo with a flathead screwdriver!

[@StopWars420]

Use a plastic trim removal tool. Then you won't damage the logo.

[@GT-Sim-Racing]

Yep

[@enzithesuccubus1072]

@@StopWars420 ud only take it off to replace it's nob so whats the point of caring about the old logo

[@PLC_Mapping]

​​@@StopWars420 who cares about a piece of plastic

[@EmulationPiracy]

⁠@@enzithesuccubus1072basically there’s two types of shifter knobs, h pattern a sequential because you need to grip it differently for both. H pattern are usually round, and sequential is a tall cylinder. You may want to switch between them, and not damage the logo

[@xX_Gravity_Xx]

I like how 70$ is affordable these days. I bought my shifter for 22$, but Amazon screwed up and never sent it, and wouldn't give me my money back, claiming it had been delivered with proof. I ended up being donated one from a friend who also paid like 30$ for it.

[@Australiaisupsidedown]

Which shifter would you suggest. Logitechs at 60?

[@xX_Gravity_Xx]

@@Australiaisupsidedown Logitech's Shifter is 60$ now? Wow. That's just atrocious. The one I have was 30$ new. Honestly for what it is that's all it's worth. If the choice is between I'd get the TH8S. Better compatibility options for the future. But I don't see either of those products as being reasonable at those price points. But if they're the most affordable options, then what does that say? Price points in this hobby rocketed up around 2019 and haven't come back down. Logitech is selling the same wheel that used to cost 130$ for 300$ now, with a 20$ shifter with less features for 60$. It sucks.

[@jaycroom9896]

U good bro?

[@Unboundiing]

@@Australiaisupsidedownhaving used both, whilst the thrustmaster is $10 more, you’ll want it more trust me. It’s sucks being limited to driving cars that are only 6 speeds with the Logitech, so having atleast up to 7 speeds is pretty nice. Even if it’s not much more. The reverse is also alo better for the thrustmaster. It’s just easier to be honest. Then if you wanna use the Logitech with a non Logitech wheel you have to buy an adapter. Having used both they are both pretty nice. The Logitech looks nicer, but the thrustmaster feels nicer imo. Overall thrustmaster for me

[@scottpolston6137]

I had the th8a it's a beautiful shifter but doesn't feel much better than the Logitech shifter so I went and got the Moza hgp shifter for 150 it feels like a real gated transmission is incredible who cares if it does sequential mode it feels that good and it's built like a absolute tank

[@Thatoneplaystationgamer]

You can remove it. You just have to pop the top and the the Philips that's in the knob. And also you can change the tension of the shifter with a flat head by turning it clockwise and counter clockwise by the hole on the right side of the shifter

[@TheScrubmuffin69]

Thanks for the tension tip. That's what I get for not reading the manual lol

[@scarecrow5848]

To remove the knob just remove the top cap (the one with the thrustmaster logo) using a flathead screwdriver (theres a slot below the cap) and then its a philipshead screw.

[@vortexx_3775]

Its a t15 torx i think

[@aron6762]

Just got the same shifter yesterday so far im loving it it works really well ill definitely give it a 10/10

Got this about 2 weeks ago and I love it way better than the shifter I had before that was almost the same price, unfortunately my package didn’t bring the cable to directly connect it to my wheel instead I got 2 usb c cables which is weird and I’m guessing it was a flaw but it’s alright I use pc anyways so it doesn’t really matter

[@vastorfenix3962]

To think the TH8A used to be the same price

[@OCRacing]

Did it really? Cheapest I remember seeing it for was $150

[@vastorfenix3962]

@@OCRacing I should’ve elaborated lol before the sim racing popularity boom, my local microcenter had em on shelf for $80. I recall a few amazon listings at the same price at the time

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

Yeah I could have sworn it was way cheaper

[@orangesimdriver]

I don't know on USA. But on EU the TH8A is allways been around 150€ since is became a stand alone product out of the T500 bundle. This TH8S is around 70€ and it seems a good option out of the Logitech and PXN shifter (actually the Logi one need a 20€ more for adapter on PC). The only thing I concern is the missing holes for mounting.

[@lilhead9454]

I bought my th8a for $80 like 5 or 6 years ago and its still working good. Its crazy to see them going for $150-$200 now.

[@WorldByAdam]

It is removable, use a flathead, also on the right side if u put a screwdriver in the hole u can adjust the shifter

[@vortexx_3775]

The knob is removable, pry the big "t" logo on the top and remove the one screw inside using a t15 torx

[@RJN2325]

You can remove the Knob by unscrewing the screw under the logo on the knob

[@Crystalcluster]

Knob and clamp are removable. Also dont forget the adjustable shift resistance

[@the_rustydoornob1164]

Rlly rlly hope this is good, I’ve been wanting an h pattern for AGES but could never justify the ridiculous price of the th8a

[@KirstaRunner]

it's good. I just bought one. Going in you know it's going to be all plastic, but all things considered it works.

[@BigRascal]

I have the TH8A so it’s nice knowing that if that ever kicks the bucket I won’t have to shell out another 200 dollars on one

[@afternoonview]

You can buy the PCB as a spare part from TM technical support 😉

[@OGVampire]

Knob is removable, you take off the top plastic piece / plating and there is a star shaped screw holding on the knob to the rod.

[@justsomegarage]

Thing is great for the money. Only gripe is with 4 gates forward and back occasionally i miss and grab 7th instead of 5th

[@afternoonview]

For all your PC users here, go to the control panel, select the analog axle and bam you'll have a cheap handbrake 😎

[@Ryan-re1rs]

You can remove the knob and use other knobs that use a slip type fitting with lock screw..

[@twostxcks]

I wish this came out sooner lol, I'm fine with the logi one i have but that one looks nicer for almost the same price 💀

[@LeviAadland]

The only thing I don’t like is that the shift knob looks like its for a trucking sim and it’s not removable 😢 but I have the th8a and I love it.

[@scottjohnson8726]

I wonder what Logitech are gonna do? Their 6 speed push down reverse is blown out of the park compared to this. You think they will make a new one?

[@worldofoutlaw1353]

Idk for sure but I think you can take the knob off by taking the top cover off then there is probably a screw or something to remove under that

[@prabhrajrakhra7446]

I have the shifter the knob is removable, you don’t see that little indent on the top plate? Yeah well if you flick it open with a flathead there’s a screw underneath

[@Wavy672]

I'll be glad if they would make more affordable handbrake too

[@TechGlitchTTV]

@ocracing. the gear knob is removable. you pop the top are aoff where the TM logo is. and theres 1 screw

[@Concodroid]

I have this, it's really great, much better than the logitech one... which I bought just under one month before this was announced, so happily i was able to return it!

[@vastorfenix3962]

Im also curious, it looks like there’s an opening on the top of the shifter to remove that plastic cap. Maybe there’s a screw holding the handle in under that?

[@Teagan_Hughes]

I found a off brand Full Metal gated 7 Speed + Reverse shifter for $60 and it is very high quality, and comes with 2 extra buttons

[@kryloxgd]

Just cut the knob off cut threads into it throw an extension on and boom good as new

I am guessing we gonna need some diy modding to get it to do sequential

[@dreamshotmedia]

Wow only took them years 💀, me here with my TH8A from like 3 yars ago, im happy with it but having a $70 option over a $250 one woumd have been nice

[@Tuukkis]

The chinese pc exclusive shifters are made of metal completely, have a 2kg resistance on shifts and works brilliantly. 7 speed with reverse at it's cheapest is 65 bucks. Not spending that money on a plastic thing that breaks if you do one slightly aggressive shift.

[@KingRat_tv]

Honestly when I saw this i was kinda upset cause I spent $150 on a thrustmaster th8a shifter but honestly my th8a has treated me well so I not so disappointed anymore considering that one is all plastic like my old logitech shifter that broke after 1 week being brand new.

[@flix8743]

Does the clamp do good job of keeping the shifter in place? Logitech doesn't.

It will not plug directly into the G29, so If your using a console (Xbox or PlayStation) it will now work. If you’re playing on computer, it will work with a G29 as you will simply plug the shifter into the computers USB slot, not directly into the wheel.
