You can checkout universal shifter knobs here. I have a classic Eight ball knob on order. If you are looking to add some aesthics to your shifter, the knob changes out really easy. I also have a Ricmotech short shift mod kit on my shifter which reduces the throw distance by 35%, which leads to faster shifts and reduced lap times! When you throw your car into neutral prior to a heavy down shift, you allow yourself to jump gears and get the car under control. You can certainly live without it because there are paddle shifters on your wheel, but the one thing you lose with paddle shifters is neutral. Thrustmaster T38A shifter: This monster is 90% metal and adjustable to different angles. I own the shifter mount, but I don’t own the seat sliders! Xbox Shifter NOTE* You can also get seat sliders to make your seat slide forward and back a few inches and an ad on for mounting a shifter gearbox. Since the base of the playseat is metal, this will help prevent you from scratching your floors up. ![]() NOTE* If you are putting your driving setup on a wood floor, then I would also highly recommend getting the playset floor mat. There are some adjustments you can make so that you can fit the cockpit to your body length. I find the adjustability to be pretty good, even though I am over 6 feet tall, I fit it pretty comfortably. Playseat Evolution Forza edition: It not only has an awesome, clean, and polished look to it, but you can sit in it for hours and not get a back ache. If you have the means to drill a cool customization could be adding the stock TX wide brake face plate to your T3PA pedal set. NOTE* I have tried taking the wide brake plate on the stock TX pedals and putting it on the T3PA’s, but the TX plate holes would need to be drilled. NOTE* I added a load cell brake mod to my T3PA Pro pedals….make a huge difference in braking efficiency. FYI Thrustmaster does not advise using these without shoes on. These pedals and springs feel much better that the T3PA wide set. These are made of all metal parts and offer the ability to invert the pedals from Formula 1 style to GT Style. The T3PA Pro pedal set is more robust than the T3PA wide pedals and offers more adjustability and stability. Another perk is that face plates are adjustable. I have my brake mod set at like 85% engaged and the progressive resistance feels like a really stiff car brake. The clutch alone is worth the price of admission and the conical brake module took this pedal set over the top. Thrustmaster T3PA Wide Pedal Set: I do not use my stock TX pedals. It is made of metal and leather and was engineered with automotive standards in mind. This accessory like the others is a 7/10 replica in size, but it certainly feels like it delivers the force feedback and the vibration from the base much better than the other two rims. Thrustmaster Leather GT Rim add on: This rim feels much more realistic than the GTE rim add on and I use it daily. While still a 7/10 size replica, this may feel a bit small in your hands, but the extra weight and metal center column make up for it’s size deficiencies. ![]() It has a nice weight to it, the paddle shifters give a nice click, and I love the re-enforced rubber grips on the diameter. Thrustmaster GTE Rim add on: This rim is better than the stock TX rim. I’ve owned the TX for 1 year and have not had any issues with it, like were reported early on when they first hit the market. I tend to keep mine set between 270 and 330 degrees depending on my car choice. The ability to choose rotation between 270 and 900 was huge sales factor for me. Thrustmaster TX: I find the base extremely sturdy and provides excellent force feedback. I do own products from Fanatec and Logitech, but have a preference for Thrustmaster when it comes to my X Box One.If you are interested in adding vibration to your cockpit, see this page here!
