The ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 is compatible with all Fanatec wheel bases.

• PC: The ClubSport Shifter SQ will work in most games, if connected to a Fanatec product with shifter port. Please check the compatibility details on the product page of the connected product.
• Consoles: The ClubSport Shifter SQ can be used on gaming consoles in games that support shifters, if connected through a Fanatec Wheel Base / Racing Wheel. Please check the information on the product page of the Fanatec product through which it will be connected to the console. It will not work on consoles using the ClubSport USB Adapter.

To get the most out of your shifter, make sure it is mounted securely. The ClubSport Shifter offers two options for mounting:

If you are racing at a desk, the ClubSport Shifter Table Clamp requires little space, yet offering a sturdy mount with plenty of adjustability. It allows for bottom and side mounting.

If you want to mount your shifter to the CSL Cockpit, the CSL Cockpit Shifter Holder provides height and lateral adjustment options, so you can find the perfect position of your shifter for optimum comfort and performance.

To add a shifter to the ClubSport GT Cockpit, the GT Cockpit Shifter Mount has the strength and flexibility you need when shifting gears on track.

You can also download a drilling template if you want to mount your ClubSport Shifter to a third-party cockpit, or if your cockpit needs additional mounting holes.

Note: You can also use the side-mounting rails of your shifter to attach the ClubSport Handbrake V2.

You can easily connect your shifter to a Fanatec wheel base by just plugging the included RJ12 cable into the wheel base’s “Shifter 1” port on the back. This option allows you to use it on PC and consoles. (Note: “Shifter 2” port is for use with the ClubSport Static Shifter Paddles.)

The ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 can also be used as a standalone product on PC when combined with the ClubSport USB Adapter.

The ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 allows you to use both modes. You can easily select it with the slider on the bottom side of the shifter housing.

To ensure that your shifter is functioning properly, you can manually calibrate the gears. Before calibration, make sure that your shifter is in H-Pattern mode.

After each wheel base firmware update, you will be prompted to calibrate your shifter if it is connected. Just follow the instructions in the Firmware Manager.

Calibration is also possible in the Fanatec App. Simply navigate to the “Shifter” tab on the left, click “H-Shifter Calibration”, and follow the instructions.

If you don’t have a Windows PC, shifter calibration can also be prompted by a button combination on your steering wheel. Check your wheel’s Quick Start Guide for more information.
