    we use a logitech gear shifter

    compared to a real car the gate is very close and easy to get the wrong gear

    what shifters are available ?

    is there away to build 3d print a shifter ?

    it would be good if it could be used as a a sequental shifter also

    I'm looking forward to Lebois Racing's gearbox design being released. He has designed a 3D printed gearbox that not only can be easily swapped from an H pattern to sequential pattern, but best of all locks the gearbox when the clutch pedal is not pressed. This second feature is vital in my opinion to a more realistic feeling gearbox. There is a thread on here about it:
