The MOD Shifter TH8S Improved Feel by 3DRap is a magnetic upgrade for the Thrustmaster TH8S gear shifter that hardens the shift feel by up to 4 times, with no friction or wear, for sim racers who want a more realistic gear change.
This upgrade replaces the original contact mechanism with a magnetic attraction system: every gear engages with a firm, defined feel, and the system generates no friction, so it needs no maintenance. During assembly you choose between a short throw (Short Shifter) or a long one (Long Shifter).
Key features of the MOD Shifter TH8S
- Contactless magnetic system: firm shifts, with no friction or wear.
- Hardens the shift up to 4 times versus the original mechanism.
- Throw selectable at assembly: Short Shifter or Long Shifter.
- Works in H-pattern; expandable to sequential and handbrake mode.
- Plug & play assembly with no greasing, with an official 3DRap video tutorial.
Options you can add
You can expand the MOD with two extras. The Sequential Mode adds conversion to a sequential shifter and handbrake via the central slider. The additional magnets (+1Kg) add 6 extra magnets for an even firmer feel.
Short or Long Shifter
Short Shifter: a shorter, more direct throw, ideal for sporty driving and quick shifts.
Long Shifter: a longer, smoother throw, for a more traditional feel.
