SimWorx Pro Series Supercar Sequential Shifter Review

[@simracinggarage3026]

Before you guys lynch me for not mounting this great shifter on the left side, as we all know that's how the real cars are configured, remember I was raised racing with a right hand shifter. I briefly tried to use it on the left side, but it made for some pretty awkward heel and toe work. And if you buy this shifter, I wanted to make sure you know it works quite well mounted on the right side of your rig too :)

[@HazzaMedia]

you had one job barry hahaha

[@aeiouxs]

Fair enough if you're from the US and it's natural - but 'thats how the real cars are configured?' Aussie V8 Supercars sit on the right, shift with their left. Anyway, phenomenal piece of kit for sure, great review as always Barry!

[@tradesman1000]

Sim Racing Garage We understand Americans do everything opposite ! Lol

[@aw4g9]

Don't stress about it Barry. Excellent review as always 👍

[@02semiata]

Growing up in the US and now living in Ireland has served me well in this area haha

[@pitlanes]

This is without a doubt one of the most impressive pieces of sim racing kit I have ever seen, thanks for another excellent video Barry.

[@Leynad778]

From the outside maybe, but it's still a 2-buttons-device on the inside.

[@pitlanes]

Leynad Jee but what a casing to put those two buttons into mate

[@spaceman-pe5je]

hey, it's you @@pitlanes! wassuh

[@pitlanes]

@@spaceman-pe5je Yo Mr Spaceman 👍

[@petezzzz]

Thanks for another great review Barry. I would love to own 1/1000 of the things you have on here. And don't worry about what side it's mounted on. It's on the "right side" for you :)

[@vitaminzeth3742]

I could tell from the smile on Berry's face how happy he was to review this beast

[@rynosraceroom66]

Its rare to see you blown away like this lol🤘🏼🏁

[@nickhackett3162]

You’ve convinced me, i’m definitely getting one.

[@Tokyo-Drift]

Team Penske uses this shifter for its simulations and also won the 2018 supercars championship so that should give an idea of the quality of this unit if I had the money I'd buy it.

[@leofariasrj-dev]

Just found your channel and i'm really glad that i did, very in-depth look with a nice tone and awesome presentation. Subscribed and keep the good work. cheers from Brazil.

[@ryanchenoweth5673]

Holy shit that looks like fun! You really are approaching end game on your rig Barry!!! Would love to see you review the MANU Factory Sequential Shifter MF SSH14 next 👏👏👏

[@Steve-jo3cl]

Another Amazing review Barry !

[@Daz5Daz]

Great review. I'd love to see you do some VR reviews. What VR setup do you have?

[@alexc4700]

Hey Barry thanks to your review I will be purchasing 1 of these shifters in about 3 weeks could u just list what the profile is that u mounted it on thanks

[@simracer1386]

This is a very cool shifter, but what about the feeling of gear engagement? I have a simworx sequential and it dosnt really have an engagement feel.. It's just a firm push and pull. Awesome shifter though. Is this is the same? the actual box part with the buttons look identical. I think I'd like one of these and mount the shifter right up next to the steering wheel, but put the shifter box further back more hidden next to the seat with a longer rod, for a bit more of an authentic look. Looks kinda clunky having it all mounted together.

[@mrdobalina3451]

Simracer #138 confirming this doesn’t feel anything like changing gears. I don’t know why Barry doesn’t mention this... Completely over priced considering that fact. Look at Pro-Sim or others for that feature.

[@kasuraga]

The thing is, unless youve driven a real deal v8 supercar, you have no idea how it's supposed to feel. it may very well feel just how this piece of kit does.

[@RVRCloset]

@@mrdobalina3451 I haven't tried this one, but such sn awesome looking beast, easy the coolest looking SQ on the market! But man is it the most underwhelming seeing the insides of that box!! Nothing connected inside, only a rod pushing switches.. .. . Have ordered the Quaife Pro-sim SQ, now they now how shifters should feel! Can't wait!! :D

[@OhItsThat]

Very cool. However the market is pretty saturated with sequential shifters. All pretty dang good too. What about H-Patterns? Are they just to complicated to make? I’d really like to see a large selection of H-pattern shifters to choose from. I currently have a Fanatec but it’s still to toy like. There’s no resistance when changing gears. I also can’t afford to spend $2k on a shifter so...

[@BGR_33]

$900 usd shipped

[@simracinginsider2231]

While I agree the market is somewhat saturated w/Sequential Shifters, when it comes to "damn near life like", there's only 3 that I know of...this one, which I myself have been eyeing for some time, the Quaife Sequential Shifter, which I believe Barry did a review on some months ago, and the Many-Factory Porsche GT3-RS replica shifter...

[@OhItsThat]

NewOldStock Racing what H-pattern shifter cost $900?

[@OhItsThat]

Sim Racing Insider I’m not looking at it as a negative thing. I’d just like to see an H pattern for every sequential brought to the market.

[@BGR_33]

OhItsThat Sorry. I was referring to the sequential Barry reviewer.

[@Adonisletsplay]

11:40 - XLR connector

[@styxxtheanimal5720]

Barry, with this shifter do you get a tactile feeling , like something is actually happening other than just a micro switch being activated ?

[@leontoh]

Well done on the review, Barry, as always. But mate, the shifter's on the left side of the steering wheel ;)

[@ruuti74]

Like the hair Dude keep growing 👍

[@pokjo2000]

Good channel you got here, props. Promises you they don't use the clutch pedal when they change gears irl.

[@soer7022]

Great video as always, Barry! Are planning on reviewing the formula style wheel from precision sim engineering anytime soon? It's an amazing piece of kit, an I'd love to see it go through the SRG review process! Thanks

[@nouse4aname05]

Hi Barry, What button box do you own?

[@billelliott3718]

Barry, is there an index to all your reviews? Something to see your review of a particular item when needed? Thanks

[@auwoody98au]

How would you compare this to the pro sim lite v2 shifter?

[@gyujinyang2680]

I wonder this too

[@tHoM0r]

Can you please review the Simworx GT LC v3 pedals? I'm keen to hear how they compare to HE. Their rubber design in the brake is totally different.

[@lifeofasimrigmestizo6910]

Holy cow!!!

[@andrewwhite2863]

Can you use the trustmaster TSSH sequential shifter on the fanatec csl elite wheel or the dd1?

[@simracinggarage3026]

It will not connect directly to Fanatec wheelbases. But you can still use it as a stand alone shifter via USB on a PC.

[@tradesman1000]

Baza it’s on the wrong side mate! 😂 🇦🇺

[@Tudorbuda]

Barry, how would you compare it to the Manu-Factory one? I own that one and i simply can't imagine this being 3 times as good, because it sure is 3 times as expensive

[@simracinggarage3026]

Never had the chance to use that one, so can't comment.

[@alphazangaming7200]

You should review the simworx handbrake

[@ronsmith5572]

Thanks Barry, now I have more I can dream about ...l.o.l.

[@legendarymark112]

Do you have any plans on reviewing the Simworx Pro GT V3 pedals? I'd like to know how they compare to the HE Pros as it's about the same price in Australia. Would be interesting to hear someones thoughts that has had experience with both!

[@simracinggarage3026]

I'd like to. Just a matter of being able to fund it.

[@vdangr]

what size do you have for a monitor and which type is it? looks cool with picture.

[@TVGrubLive]

nice

[@joshbroughton2697]

How come in the screenshot of SimWorx web site it lists the shifter as weighting 8kg and when you weighed it it was around 5kg. 3kg or 6lbs difference is huge, please explain. Keep up the good work Barry!

[@simracinggarage3026]

Not sure. All I can do is tell you what the one I got weighed.

[@autoplus9781]

Everything weighs more when they are upside down there in 🇦🇺 lol

[@mohammadkhalil8553]

Barry, what is that wheel? it always catches my eyes!

[@simracinggarage3026]

Custom assembly. OMP Superquadro with a gen1 Ascher button plate. Audi sticker sourced from ebay.

[@simracinginsider2231]

Great review Barry...as always! Glad to see someone outside of Australia, finally got around to doing any type of review on a SimWorx related product! Now, at if one had to choose between SimWorx or the Pro Sim (Quaife) Shifter, which one do you go with? :-)

[@simracinggarage3026]

Depending on what type of sequential gearbox you want to emulate. The Pro Sim has a more mechanical action feel to it. The SimWorx is smoother, but still has good tactile feedback. You really need to try both to be sure of what you like best.

[@analogearthquake1984]

Frex Seq killer? 🤔

[@MrNiceKnife]

I share your enthusiasm for aluminum, check out Microtech Knives for a great knife with amazing aluminum handles. Gorgeous piece of kit, curious to see your rally version.

[@simracinggarage3026]

Haven't had time to fabricate a mount for my handbrake yet. Hopefully soon though.

[@mrnismo75]

I think you mean Weddle, not Weller. And they don’t make the Albins shifter...Albins make the Albins shifter (made in Australia)

[@gastonmanuel2687]

Awesome shifter, although it’s mounted on the wrong side for a Supercar. Great review as always. Thank you Barry.

[@EddieOtool]

And I thought sequential shifters had a long lever that triggered the clutch on upshifts, but couldn't find any evidence of it anywhere. I though some rally cars had that. I'm more ignorant than I think I suppose.

[@kasuraga]

nope, sequential gear boxes dont have syncros, they have what are called dog rings instead that allow the transmission to be banged up and down gears without using the clutch.

[@EddieOtool]

@@kasuraga This I know. I was referring to something else.

[@kasuraga]

@@EddieOtool my point is, there isnt any mechanism to trigger the clutch on up shifts or down shifts

[@EddieOtool]

@@kasuraga You are right.

[@Limeayy]

So SimWorx Pro series Supercar Sequential Shifter vs. Pro-Sim Sequential Shifter? The SimWorx probably looks better and somewhat cheaper.

[@mrdobalina3451]

Lime I’d disagree. The Pro-Sim have a feeling that this simple shifter doesn’t match.

[@smallfathimhim]

Barry would you like to comment between this SimWorx and Prosim sequential lite ? That would be awesome.

[@autoplus9781]

Thanks for the perfect review. I’m about to be $1260 lighter 👍🏻

Craig Kelly what did you think of this shifter?

[@WulfPAK100]

Awesome. bought the pedals too. equally as good. fantastic build quality on all mate.

[@marklowe7431]

Probably doesn't need a choke because it's not pulling any current.

[@WarriorPleb]

The shifter is on the wrong side mate :P

[@adrianstealth340]

To big to expensive to heavy , it’s a monster , I’d not consider purchasing this , small solid & compact by good design is way way better thanks for review

[@Smokeyr67]

Adrian Stealth all of your complaints are very subjective, personally I prefer solidly built, quality items that are going to last.

[@AgentJot23]

Nice piece of machinery and great, professional level video as always but... you completely ruined it as soon as you mounted Aussie's Supercar's shifter on your right side!

[@johnmac9250]

If you add two wheels you'll have a bicycle!

[@JuiceSkyy]

Well thats music to my ears .... "Sounds like a tuning fork". hhmm mmm mm

[@TheAdminFromHell]

The red washers on all the bolts cost pennies on eBay, same with the braided cable sleeve.

[@topcat8820]

Way too big and expensive. Go for the simagic shifter . Made in Germany a lot smaller and a lot better ! Great videos though bud

[@gyujinyang2680]

OK for a lot smaller, but a lot better? where is logic. it is just your imagination? prove it, if you want to say this. or you need to make comparison videos at least. I sometimes wonder where this baseless confidence of simagic product comes from.

[@Leynad778]

Looks a bit flimsy for my taste:D Some guy said the real Supercar-drivers are using GT3-cars in iRacing for practice... Maybe not true, but a Z4 without lowest aero, ABS and TC could be a handful either and when it's too hard in a sim, it's usually BS.

[@gamerscockpit]

PS......stick goes on the left.
