Fanatec CSL Cockpit Shifter Holder

Left- or right-side mount for a Fanatec shifter and ClubSport Handbrake on the CSL Cockpit

Description

The Fanatec CSL Cockpit Shifter Holder mounts any Fanatec shifter and a ClubSport Handbrake to the CSL Cockpit.

LHD or RHD. The holder can be installed on the left or right side of the driver, so it suits both left-hand and right-hand drive layouts.

Adjustment. Height and lateral adjustment let you place the shifter where it feels natural; Fanatec says it stays sturdy even at its highest position.

Handbrake. The bracket supports a ClubSport Handbrake (all versions) as well, but the handbrake must be mounted to the side of a ClubSport Shifter rather than on its own.

Third-party hardware. Fanatec notes that the use of third-party sim racing hardware is not tested nor endorsed.

Driving style

The CSL Cockpit Shifter Holder is for CSL Cockpit owners adding a Fanatec shifter for H-pattern or sequential driving: classic cars and touring cars in Assetto Corsa, rally in EA SPORTS WRC and Richard Burns Rally, or GT cars with sequential gearboxes in iRacing. OC Racing found it did its job well and stayed sturdy in normal H-pattern shifting, though it showed some visible movement when pulled hard.

Best for one Fanatec shifter, or a ClubSport Shifter with the ClubSport Handbrake attached to its side; less suited for drivers who want a separate shifter and handbrake side by side or third-party hardware.

Build quality

Mid-range build

A compact steel shifter plate and bracket that bolts to the CSL Cockpit frame with height and lateral adjustment. OC Racing reports it stays fairly sturdy with no impactful flex during normal shifting, with some movement only under hard pulls; the plate is small and sized for a single device.

Software

The Shifter Holder is a passive mount and needs no software. The shifter and handbrake you mount on it are configured through the Fanatec App on Windows PC or connect through the Fanatec wheel base on console.

Assembly follows Fanatec's Quick Guide.

Frequently asked questions

Can I mount a shifter and a handbrake together on the CSL Cockpit Shifter Holder?

Only in one configuration: a ClubSport Handbrake (any version) attached to the side of a ClubSport Shifter. OC Racing notes the plate is small and fits one device, so owners of other shifters must choose between a shifter and a handbrake.

Is the CSL Cockpit Shifter Holder stable?

Fanatec says it stays sturdy even at its highest position. OC Racing found it fairly sturdy with no impactful flex during normal H-pattern shifting, but saw some visible movement when pulling on it hard.

Can I mount it on the left side for right-hand drive?

Yes. The holder can be installed on either the left or the right side of the driver.

Does it work with third-party shifters?

Fanatec only lists Fanatec shifters and the ClubSport Handbrake and states that third-party sim racing hardware is not tested or endorsed. Some third-party shifters may fit with drilling, but it is not officially supported.

Is the CSL Cockpit Shifter Holder worth the price?

At $79.99 it is one of the cheaper ways to add a shifter to a CSL Cockpit and matches the rig. OC Racing found it does its job well, while noting its small size limits you to one device.

Do I need software for the Shifter Holder?

No. The holder is mechanical; the shifter itself is configured in the Fanatec App on PC or connects through the wheel base.
