Simagic DS-8X Short Shifter Kit

The Simagic DS-8X is one of the best sim racing shifters available, but many drivers find the factory throw longer than necessary.

This short shifter kit reduces the effective throw by replacing the factory shift knob and lockout collar with a shorter assembly. The result is a more direct, precise shifting feel while retaining all original functionality, including reverse lockout operation.

Available Options

Lockout Collar Only

Includes the shortened lockout collar only.

This option is intended for users who want to supply their own shift knob. The collar is required to achieve proper fitment with shorter knobs.

Titanium Shift Knob Only

Includes one titanium shift knob.

  • Solid titanium construction
  • Heat-colored anodized finish
  • Brushed texture
  • M12 × 1.25 threads

Note: The knob is designed to work with the shortened collar. Installing the knob with the factory Simagic collar may result in interference.

Complete Kit

Includes:

  • Titanium shift knob
  • Shortened lockout collar

This is the recommended option and provides the intended fitment and throw reduction.

Fitment Information

The shortened collar was designed specifically around the dimensions of this shift knob.

If you choose to use your own knob, fitment cannot be guaranteed. Many aftermarket knobs may work, but clearance will depend on the knob's dimensions and thread engagement.

Shift Knob Details

Unlike many aftermarket knobs that use steel construction with decorative coatings, this knob is machined from solid titanium and features a heat-colored finish that produces unique bronze, purple, and blue tones.

Each knob will vary slightly in appearance due to the coloring process.

Installation

Installation takes only a few minutes and requires basic hand tools.

Simply remove:

  • The lower hex nut
  • The side set screw

Then install the new components in their place.
