If you want the short answer: the Logitech G920 with Driving Force Shifter is the wheel we point most manual transmission fans toward, because it is one of two packages here (with the PXN V99) that already bundle a compatible H-pattern shifter with a three pedal clutch set, and the one with the long Logitech track record, so there is nothing else to shop for before your first heel toe start. If you already own pedals or want more feedback detail before adding a shifter, the Logitech G923 pairs with the same shifter and adds TRUEFORCE, and the Thrustmaster T300 RS GT is the smoother belt driven pick once you add a TH8 shifter.
Most racing wheels ship with two or three pedals and nothing else: a compatible H-pattern shifter is almost always a separate purchase within the same brand’s lineup, and the shifter and wheelbase have to be paired correctly to talk to each other. We compared six wheels that support a clutch pedal and a matching shifter, note what is bundled versus sold separately for each, and explain how we review below. If clutch pedals and H-pattern shifters are new to you, start with Getting Started.
Comparison at a Glance
| Wheel | Drive type | Torque (manufacturer) | Platforms | Pedals in box | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Logitech G920 with Driving Force Shifter | Gear driven | Not published | Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC | 3 (plus shifter) | Clutch and shifter in a single purchase |
| Logitech G29 | Gear driven | Not published | PS5, PS4, PC | 3 | Three pedal clutch ready for the Driving Force Shifter add-on |
| Logitech G923 (PlayStation) | Gear driven | Not published | PS5, PS4, PC | 3 | TRUEFORCE feedback plus a clutch pedal |
| Thrustmaster T300 RS GT | Belt driven | Not published | PS5, PS4, PC | 3 | Smooth belt drive paired with a TH8 shifter |
| Thrustmaster T248 X | Hybrid (belt and gear) | Not published | Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC | 3 (T3PM) | A modern hybrid base and a magnetic clutch pedal for the TH8S |
| PXN V99 (with pedals and shifter) | Gear driven | 3.2 Nm | PS4, Xbox, PC (see listing) | 3 (plus shifter) | Budget bundle with a shifter already in the box |
Torque figures come from each manufacturer’s product listing. Only the PXN V99 publishes a peak torque figure; the table says so for the rest rather than repeating a number from a forum.
How We Picked
We limited this list to wheels currently sold new in the United States that ship with, or have a documented compatible add-on for, both a clutch pedal and an H-pattern shifter. For each one we checked whether the shifter is bundled or sold separately, which shifter model actually connects to that base, drive type, what pedals are in the box, and the patterns that repeat in owner feedback around shifter fitment and pedal feel. A wheel with no clutch pedal, or with no documented shifter path at all, did not make the cut.
Each product’s WSR Score comes from verified buyer feedback, normalized to our 10-point scale. Read more about how we review.
Logitech G920 with Driving Force Shifter
This bundle pairs Logitech’s G920 wheel with the Driving Force Shifter in a single purchase, so drivers who want a clutch pedal and an H-pattern shifter do not have to research a compatible add-on separately. The G920 is a gear driven wheel with three pedals including a clutch, and it covers Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. The Driving Force Shifter connects directly to the wheelbase and gives six forward gears plus reverse in games that support manual shifting.
- Pro: shifter is already included, so there is no matching to research or a second checkout
- Pro: three pedal set with a clutch, not just brake and throttle
- Pro: covers Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC in one package
- Con: gear drive has a coarser feel than belt or direct drive
- Con: fixed rim with no quick release, so it cannot swap to other Logitech wheels
Xbox and PC drivers who want a clutch pedal and a shifter in one box without matching parts themselves.
You are on PlayStation, since this bundle only lists Xbox and PC support.
Logitech G29
The G29 includes three pedals with a clutch pedal and a nonlinear brake, plus 900 degrees of rotation and a hand stitched leather rim, but Logitech sells it without a shifter. The same Driving Force Shifter that bundles with the G920 also connects to the G29, so PlayStation and PC drivers add it as a second purchase rather than hunting for a third party part. The G29 covers PS5, PS4, and PC, and it has been on sale for a decade with a large base of owner feedback.
- Pro: proven three pedal wheel with a clutch pedal already included
- Pro: pairs directly with the Driving Force Shifter, a known compatible add-on
- Pro: lowest cost of entry into a clutch plus shifter setup on PlayStation and PC
- Con: the shifter is a separate purchase, which raises the total cost
- Con: no TRUEFORCE and no quick release
PlayStation and PC drivers who already have a clutch pedal in mind and are fine adding a shifter afterward.
You want the shifter bundled from the start; the G920 package removes that step on Xbox and PC.
Logitech G923 (PlayStation)
The G923 upgrades the G29 with TRUEFORCE, which reads engine and surface data from supported games at up to 4,000 times per second, and it adds a firmer progressive brake spring, while keeping the same three pedal set with a clutch pedal. Like the G29, it does not include a shifter, but it uses the same Driving Force Shifter connector, so the add-on path is identical. It covers PS5, PS4, and PC; an Xbox version is sold separately under the same name, so check the listing before buying.
- Pro: TRUEFORCE detail on top of a clutch pedal for a more textured feel
- Pro: pairs with the same Driving Force Shifter as the G29 and G920
- Pro: strong owner feedback among the six wheels here
- Con: the shifter is still a separate purchase
- Con: gear drive remains coarser than belt or direct drive
Drivers who want the most refined Logitech feel available before adding a shifter.
You want a bundle that already includes the shifter; the G920 package removes that extra step.
Thrustmaster T300 RS GT
The T300 RS GT is a belt driven wheel with a detachable rim and 13 action buttons plus a D-pad, and it ships with a three pedal GT set that includes a clutch. Thrustmaster’s TH8A and newer TH8S shifters both connect to the T300 base, so buyers choose between the TH8A’s metal shift knob and the lighter TH8S. Thrustmaster does not publish a peak torque figure for the base. It supports PS5, PS4, and PC.
- Pro: smooth belt drive feel with a clutch pedal already included
- Pro: pairs with either the TH8A or the TH8S shifter, giving a choice of feel
- Pro: detachable rim opens up the wider Thrustmaster ecosystem
- Con: the shifter is a separate purchase on top of the base
- Con: no published torque figure and no listed Xbox support
PlayStation and PC drivers who want a smoother belt drive feel before adding a TH8 shifter.
You are on Xbox only; the T300 RS GT does not list Xbox support.
Thrustmaster T248 X
The T248 X is a hybrid belt and gear driven wheel for which Thrustmaster does not publish a torque figure, with a magnetic T3PM pedal set that includes a clutch pedal. It pairs with Thrustmaster’s TH8S shifter as an add-on, giving Xbox and PC drivers a manual shifting option on a more modern base than the T300 line. It covers Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
- Pro: hybrid belt and gear drive, smoother than the gear driven wheels here
- Pro: magnetic T3PM pedal set includes a clutch pedal
- Pro: pairs with the TH8S shifter for Xbox and PC drivers
- Con: the TH8S shifter is sold separately from the base
- Con: smaller established ecosystem on console than Logitech
Xbox and PC drivers who want a documented torque figure and a magnetic clutch pedal before adding the TH8S.
You want everything in one box; this pairing still means a second purchase.
PXN V99 (with pedals and shifter)
The V99 is a budget bundle that already includes its own shifter in the box, so there is no separate shifter purchase to plan for. PXN publishes a 3.2 Nm torque figure for it and lists PS4, Xbox, and PC compatibility on the product page. The pedal set is a three pedal Hall sensor unit with a clutch, so the V99 is a complete clutch and shifter bundle in one box. The caveat is the platform list: PXN lists PS4 rather than PS5, and on console the pedals and shifter must connect through the wheelbase.
- Pro: shifter and pedals already bundled at the lowest entry price here
- Pro: published 3.2 Nm torque figure and broad listed platform compatibility
- Con: no native PS5 support; PlayStation 5 use needs a separate adapter
- Con: owner feedback trails the established Logitech and Thrustmaster ecosystems
Budget buyers who want the H-pattern shifting motion bundled in without shopping for a matching add-on.
You race on PS5; PXN lists PS4, Xbox, and PC, and PS5 use needs a separate adapter.
Buying Guide
Why the shifter is usually a separate purchase
Most wheelbases are sold as a rim and pedal set, and the H-pattern shifter is a separate accessory within the same brand’s lineup that connects to the base through its own port or cable. The G920 bundle and the PXN V99 are the exceptions on this list: everything else here means buying the shifter after the wheel. See our full best sim racing shifters roundup for standalone options beyond the six wheels above.
Matching a shifter to your wheelbase
The Logitech Driving Force Shifter connects to the G29, G920, and G923, which is why it appears three times in this comparison. Thrustmaster splits its lineup: the T300 RS GT pairs with either the TH8A or the TH8S, and Thrustmaster lists both for the T248 X as well. If you already own a direct drive base from another brand, the Moza HGP Shifter and the Fanatec ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 are the higher end options worth checking in our shifters roundup; on console, neither connects to the gear or belt driven wheels featured here, though both can run as separate USB devices on PC.
Clutch pedal and platform compatibility
Not every pedal set includes a clutch, so confirm the pedal count on the listing; all six wheels here ship with one. Before buying, confirm your console and PC compatibility against the manufacturer listing, since a PlayStation licensed wheel like the G29 will not work on Xbox and vice versa. Our sim racing wheel compatibility guide covers how to check a wheel, pedal set, and shifter against your platform before checkout.
Who Should Not Buy
If you only race with paddle shifters or an automatic gearbox in game, an H-pattern shifter adds cost and desk space without changing how you play, so skip straight to a standard wheel and pedal set instead. If you race on PS5 and want an all in one bundle, note that the PXN V99 lists PS4 rather than PS5 support. And if you are chasing high torque or direct drive feel above everything else, none of the six wheels here is the right starting point; check our direct drive roundup instead and add a shifter later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do racing wheels come with a shifter included?
Usually not. Most wheels ship with only a rim and a pedal set, and a compatible H-pattern shifter is a separate purchase within the same brand’s ecosystem. The Logitech G920 with Driving Force Shifter bundle and the PXN V99 are the two exceptions in this comparison; everything else needs the shifter added afterward.
Can I add a shifter to any wheel?
Not on console. There a shifter has to plug into the specific wheelbase’s connector, so it stays within one brand’s lineup, and often within one product family, such as the Logitech Driving Force Shifter working across the G29, G920, and G923. On PC, many shifters connect over their own USB cable instead, which loosens that match. Always confirm compatibility on the shifter’s own listing before buying.
Do I need a clutch pedal to use an H-pattern shifter?
Many racing games let you shift with an H-pattern shifter without a clutch pedal, but you lose the realistic launch and rev matching that a clutch pedal adds. All six wheels here include a dedicated clutch pedal.
Which shifter matches the Thrustmaster T248 X?
The Thrustmaster TH8S Shifter is the documented add-on for the T248 X. Thrustmaster’s product page for the T248 X lists both the TH8S and the older TH8A as compatible add-ons.
Which racing wheels with a clutch and shifter work on Xbox?
Three options here cover Xbox: the Logitech G920 bundle, the Thrustmaster T248 X with the TH8S shifter added, and the PXN V99. PlayStation licensed wheels such as the G29 will not work on Xbox. Check the listing for Series S versus Series X support before buying.
Which racing wheels with a clutch and shifter work on PS5?
The Logitech G29, the Logitech G923 (PlayStation version), and the Thrustmaster T300 RS GT all list PS5, and each takes a matching shifter as a separate purchase. The PXN V99 lists PS4 rather than PS5, so confirm PS5 support on the listing first. Our best racing wheel for PS5 guide covers more options.
Does Moza make a racing wheel with a clutch and shifter?
Moza makes the parts as separate add-ons. The CRP2 Clutch pairs with the CRP2 Pedals to form a three pedal set, and the HGP Shifter connects to a Moza wheelbase with a shifter port or straight to a PC over USB. On Xbox, Moza says the HGP works only through a compatible Moza base, and current Moza bases do not support PlayStation, so check compatibility for your base first.
