Do you need the Supported Shifter Arm Add-On? Learn how it braces your chassis, which shifters fit, and the install steps that prevent flex and misalignment.
Quick answer
The Supported Shifter Arm Add-On mounts most shifters and handbrakes directly to your ASR chassis profile and ties the steering column to the base profiles for extra stability. Buy it if you want a solid, flex-free shifter mount that also stiffens an ASR 1 chassis; skip it if you already run a dedicated freestanding shifter stand.
When the add-on is worth it (and when it is not)
This part solves two problems at once: it gives you a profile-based home for a shifter or handbrake, and it braces the steering column against the base of an ASR 1 chassis. That makes it a sensible upgrade for anyone who has felt the wheel deck or shifter move under hard shifts.
It is not the right choice if your rig already has a separate shifter stand, or if you plan to change chassis later and want a mount that transfers without re-checking compatibility. The add-on is chassis-specific by design, so confirm your chassis before ordering.
Compatibility limits you should check first
The add-on is listed for ASR chassis and specifically adds stability to the ASR 1 SimRacing Chassis. It accepts a wide variety of shifters and handbrakes directly in the profile, and you can add the Handbrake Plate and Shifter Plate from Advanced SimRacing to expand compatibility with more manufacturers and brands.
If your shifter needs a plate adapter, budget for that extra part and check its bolt pattern before you install. The catalog does not list every supported shifter model, so treat the plate system as the flexible path rather than assuming a direct bolt-on for an unusual brand.
Supported Shifter Arm Add-On FAQ
- Will this fit my chassis?
- The add-on is made for ASR chassis and is specifically described as adding stability to the ASR 1 SimRacing Chassis. Check the compatible chassis option for your model before ordering; it is not a universal part for other rig brands. Confirm your exact chassis model in the option menu, not just the brand.
- Which shifters and handbrakes can I mount?
- The profile accepts a wide variety of shifters and handbrakes directly. For brands that do not bolt straight in, add the Advanced SimRacing Shifter Plate or Handbrake Plate to expand compatibility. The catalog does not list every model, so test-fit your shifter’s bolt pattern before final tightening.
- How do I install it without introducing flex?
- Loosely assemble the arm to the base profiles and the steering column first, set your shifter height and reach, then tighten the column connection last so the brace pulls the column square rather than twisting it. Recheck bolt tension after the first few sessions. Tighten the column link last to avoid preloading the chassis.
- Does it replace a dedicated shifter stand?
- No. It mounts the shifter to the rig itself and braces the chassis. If you want to isolate shifter forces from the wheel deck entirely, a freestanding stand is a different approach; this add-on is for chassis-mounted setups.
- What does it do for chassis stability?
- By connecting the steering column to the base profiles, it adds rigidity to the ASR 1 chassis in the area where shift and steering forces concentrate. That can reduce movement you feel through the wheel during aggressive inputs.
Product facts
- Supported Shifter Arm Add-On: Add-on for ASR chassis that mounts a wide variety of shifters and handbrakes directly in the profile and connects the steering column to the base profiles for stability on the ASR 1 chassis. One part gives you a shifter mount and chassis bracing, so you do not need a separate stiffener for the column area.
Supported Shifter Arm Add-On - Supported Shifter Arm Add-On: Compatible with Advanced SimRacing Handbrake Plate and Shifter Plate to expand compatibility with various manufacturers and brands. If your shifter does not bolt directly to the profile, the plate system is the supported way to adapt it.
