Notes

Sim-racing shifters add manual gear control and are mostly mechanical with simple electronics. Repairs can be worthwhile for loose clamps, worn bushings, or cable issues if the unit is otherwise solid.

Replace if gear detection fails consistently, internal springs break, or the housing/mount cracks from repeated force. Keeping it clean and avoiding side-loading reduces wear.
