PC Racing Wheel With Clutch and Shifter: Build Your Set

For a PC racing wheel with clutch and shifter, start with the GTR RS30 three-pedal configuration, then choose a separate shifter and a mounting solution that fits. The RS30 three-pedal option gives you throttle, brake, and clutch. It does not include a separate gear lever.

That makes your shopping list three main parts: the wheel and base, the right pedals, and the shifter. You also need somewhere secure to put each control. Before ordering, confirm that your intended games support the wheel, clutch, and separate USB shifter inputs.

If you want automatic driving and do not need a clutch, the two-pedal RS30 configuration is the simpler choice. If you want a complete manual set in one box, none of the RS30 configurations described here includes everything on that list.

Choose the RS30 configuration by its contents

The GTR RS30 wheel listing offers three configurations. Read the configuration notice above the selector before adding one to your cart. The product name alone does not tell you which pedals you have selected.

RS30 configuration	Included controls	Clutch pedal?	Separate shifter?	When to choose it
Wheel only	RS30 wheel and base	No pedals included	No	You already have pedals and will confirm their compatibility
Wheel + V3 Pro two pedals	RS30 wheel, throttle, and brake	No	No	You want automatic driving without a clutch pedal
Wheel + V3 Pro three pedals	RS30 wheel, throttle, brake, and clutch	Yes	No	You want a clutch for a game that supports it

For the manual setup covered here, choose the three-pedal option. Adding a separate shifter to the two-pedal configuration will not give you a clutch pedal.

The wheel-only option needs particular care. It can make sense if you already own pedals, but check how those pedals will work with your planned setup. Do not assume that a pedal set you own will connect or function as needed.

V3 Pro pedals offer adjustable position, travel, and resistance. Those adjustments give you ways to arrange the controls around your driving position. You still need to check pedal stability or mounting before deciding where they will sit.

Decide whether the RS30 fits your priorities

The RS30 is a Windows PC geared force-feedback wheel with a published maximum output of 5 Nm. It uses a dual-motor, helical-geared system. If you specifically want direct drive, this is not the wheel to buy.

Its steering wheel measures approximately 10.5 inches, or 280 mm. It has an aluminum structure, a suede-style grip, and aluminum paddle shifters. Steering rotation is selectable between 270 and 900 degrees, and the wheel-rake angle adjusts from 0 to 15 degrees.

Use those details to think about your space and intended driving position. Check where the wheel rim will sit relative to your chair, and leave room to reach the pedals and separate gear lever. A list of controls is only useful if you can arrange them within comfortable reach.

The paddle shifters and a separate gated shifter are different controls. The presence of paddles on the RS30 does not mean a gear lever comes with it. If moving a separate lever through a gate is part of what you want, include that item in your plan.

Add the separate shifter deliberately

The GTR RSH3 USB 7+1 gated shifter provides seven forward positions plus reverse. It has an aluminum and steel structure and connects as a separate USB control.

For the configuration labeled Without Angle Adjustment, an angle-adjustment mount is not included. Check the selected configuration carefully so you know what you are buying.

The RSH3 does not supply the other parts of your manual setup. A clutch pedal, wheel, pedals, desk clamp, and cockpit bracket are excluded unless the selected configuration expressly says otherwise. Treat the shifter and its mounting hardware as separate shopping decisions.

A USB connection does not guarantee that your game will map every gear input. Confirm current operating-system, driver, firmware, and exact game support for the shifter, along with current drivers and game support for the RS30. These are PC products; do not buy them expecting console compatibility.

If trucking is your main use, read the American Truck Simulator shifter guide while planning your controls. For a broader look at lever, paddle, and clutch choices, use the sim racing shifter guide.

Plan the mounting before choosing accessories

Start by deciding whether the controls will go on a desk or a cockpit. GTR's public RS30 information describes desk clamping or rig mounting, but you should confirm the hardware supplied with your selected configuration.

For a desk, check its strength and the clearance needed for the wheel clamp. Also work out how you will secure the pedals and shifter. The RSH3 listing does not include a desk clamp by default, so a desk plan needs more than a place for the wheel.

For a cockpit, check the exact wheel and pedal bolt patterns and any required adapters. For the shifter, confirm its bolt pattern, fasteners, mounting side, lever clearance, and cable route. Mounting is not universal.

The GTR GTA Shifter & Handbrake Mount is intended for supported GTA, Revolution, and GTM cockpit configurations. It includes only the mount. Device-specific fasteners or adapters may be required.

We have not confirmed that this mount fits the RSH3 or GTA Pro, so check those combinations first. Match the exact cockpit revision as well as the device you want to attach. A shared brand name is not enough to settle the fit.

You can browse racing simulator cockpits once you know your mounting needs. Cockpit listings do not include a wheel, pedals, or PC. The cockpit buying guide can help you organize that choice.

Review the whole order

Before checking out, write down the selected configuration beside each item. Your list should identify the RS30 three-pedal option, the separate shifter configuration, and the hardware needed to secure each control. This makes missing parts easier to spot.

Frequently asked questions

Does the RS30 include a clutch and shifter?

Only the three-pedal configuration includes a clutch pedal. No RS30 configuration described here includes a separate shifter. Select the pedals first, then add the gear lever separately.

Can I buy the two-pedal set for this manual setup?

It includes throttle and brake, but no clutch. Choose the three-pedal configuration if you want a clutch pedal and your game supports one.

Is the RS30 a direct-drive wheel?

No. It uses a dual-motor, helical-geared force-feedback system with a published maximum output of 5 Nm.

Can I attach the RSH3 to the GTA mount?

Check that exact combination before buying. Confirm the device bolt pattern, cockpit revision, adapters, fasteners, and clearance with the mounting checks above.

Who should skip this setup?

Skip it if you need promised console support or specifically want direct drive. If you only want automatic driving, consider the RS30 two-pedal configuration. You do not need to choose a clutch and separate lever just because you are buying sim racing wheel and pedals.
