third pedal to finally switch to a manual transmission<\/h2>\n<p>The Fanatec CSL Pedals come standard with two pedals: the gas and brake. But if you want to drive classic GTs, rally cars, drift cars, or any car with an H-pattern shifter, you\u2019re missing the essential component: the clutch. That\u2019s exactly the gap this Clutch Kit fills. It\u2019s not a complete pedal set but an expansion module\u2014a single clutch pedal that you bolt onto the existing CSL Pedals to upgrade from a two-pedal setup to a three-pedal setup.<\/p>\n<p>This approach aligns with the philosophy behind the CSL line: providing access to a specific component at the lowest possible price rather than requiring the purchase of a complete set. For those who already own the basic pedal set, this is the most direct path to a true three-pedal layout.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>The same metal strength as the rest of the pedal set<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-r\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fanatec.sjv.io\/je6qj0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_Clutch_Pedal-1024x614.jpgv1717763289\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_Clutch_Pedal-1024x614.jpgv1717763289 1024w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_Clutch_Pedal-300x180.jpgv1717763289 300w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_Clutch_Pedal-150x90.jpgv1717763289 150w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_Clutch_Pedal-768x460.jpgv1717763289 768w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_Clutch_Pedal-1536x921.jpgv1717763289 1536w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_Clutch_Pedal-2048x1227.jpgv1717763289 2048w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_Clutch_Pedal-1080x647.jpgv1717763289 1080w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_Clutch_Pedal-1280x767.jpgv1717763289 1280w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_Clutch_Pedal-980x587.jpgv1717763289 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_Clutch_Pedal-480x288.jpgv1717763289 480w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_Clutch_Pedal-600x360.jpgv1717763289 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>The pedal fully embodies the CSL Pedals design language.

With no mechanical friction on the sensor, this ensures greater durability and consistent measurement over time. The spring, meanwhile, is intentionally stiffer than that of the throttle, giving the clutch its own distinct resistance and preventing it from feeling like a mere copy of the gas pedal.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s be honest: this pedal doesn\u2019t simulate a slip point; it\u2019s still a classic progressive control. In practice, the spring\u2019s higher resistance makes it easy to gauge the force and allows for a smooth, jerk-free operation. For clean stops from a standstill with an H-pattern shifter, this is exactly what you\u2019d expect from a clutch pedal in this price range.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>Setup and installation\u2014it only takes a few minutes<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-r\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fanatec.sjv.io\/je6qj0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Rear-1024x614.jpgv1717763289\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Rear-1024x614.jpgv1717763289 1024w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Rear-300x180.jpgv1717763289 300w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Rear-150x90.jpgv1717763289 150w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Rear-768x460.jpgv1717763289 768w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Rear-1536x921.jpgv1717763289 1536w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Rear-2048x1227.jpgv1717763289 2048w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Rear-1080x647.jpgv1717763289 1080w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Rear-1280x767.jpgv1717763289 1280w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Rear-980x587.jpgv1717763289 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Rear-480x288.jpgv1717763289 480w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Rear-600x360.jpgv1717763289 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>Installation is plug-and-play.

The modular design also allows for reverse mounting on a chassis, and the vertical rear plate lets you prop the pedal set against a wall for floor-mounted setups.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>Compatibility: What to Check Before Buying<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-l\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fanatec.sjv.io\/je6qj0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"646\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_03_1280x1280_06c53b20-8d81-4950-8fea-7d2da6da924c-1024x646.jpgv1717763288\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_03_1280x1280_06c53b20-8d81-4950-8fea-7d2da6da924c-1024x646.jpgv1717763288 1024w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_03_1280x1280_06c53b20-8d81-4950-8fea-7d2da6da924c-300x189.jpgv1717763288 300w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_03_1280x1280_06c53b20-8d81-4950-8fea-7d2da6da924c-150x95.jpgv1717763288 150w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_03_1280x1280_06c53b20-8d81-4950-8fea-7d2da6da924c-768x485.jpgv1717763288 768w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_03_1280x1280_06c53b20-8d81-4950-8fea-7d2da6da924c-1080x682.jpgv1717763288 1080w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_03_1280x1280_06c53b20-8d81-4950-8fea-7d2da6da924c-980x618.jpgv1717763288 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_03_1280x1280_06c53b20-8d81-4950-8fea-7d2da6da924c-480x303.jpgv1717763288 480w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_03_1280x1280_06c53b20-8d81-4950-8fea-7d2da6da924c-600x379.jpgv1717763288 600w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_03_1280x1280_06c53b20-8d81-4950-8fea-7d2da6da924c.jpgv1717763288 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>This is an important detail to keep in mind. The Clutch Kit does not include any USB ports. It works only when connected through a compatible Fanatec base\u2014specifically the CSL Elite, CSL DD, ClubSport, and Podium models\u2014or via the ClubSport USB Adapter, which is sold separately. In other words, the pedal does not connect directly to a PC via USB; it must be connected through the base.<\/p>\n<p>As a direct result of the console, the pedal set inherits the platform of the base to which it is connected. A PlayStation-compatible Fanatec base enables use on PlayStation, while an Xbox-compatible base enables use on Xbox. You must therefore consider the base, not the pedals. One final useful consideration: since the Load Cell Kit already provides all three pedals\u2014as it converts the stock brake pedal into a clutch pedal\u2014you shouldn\u2019t combine the two kits. The Clutch Kit is intended for those who simply want a third pedal without modifying their brake.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>For whom, and when?<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-r\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fanatec.sjv.io\/je6qj0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"646\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_01_1280x1280_bf50885e-3e17-4276-9765-81ac876d6eeb-1024x646.jpgv1717763288\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_01_1280x1280_bf50885e-3e17-4276-9765-81ac876d6eeb-1024x646.jpgv1717763288 1024w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_01_1280x1280_bf50885e-3e17-4276-9765-81ac876d6eeb-300x189.jpgv1717763288 300w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_01_1280x1280_bf50885e-3e17-4276-9765-81ac876d6eeb-150x95.jpgv1717763288 150w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_01_1280x1280_bf50885e-3e17-4276-9765-81ac876d6eeb-768x485.jpgv1717763288 768w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_01_1280x1280_bf50885e-3e17-4276-9765-81ac876d6eeb-1080x682.jpgv1717763288 1080w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_01_1280x1280_bf50885e-3e17-4276-9765-81ac876d6eeb-980x618.jpgv1717763288 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_01_1280x1280_bf50885e-3e17-4276-9765-81ac876d6eeb-480x303.jpgv1717763288 480w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_01_1280x1280_bf50885e-3e17-4276-9765-81ac876d6eeb-600x379.jpgv1717763288 600w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2021_01_18_CSL_Pedal_Clutch_Kit_Detail_01_1280x1280_bf50885e-3e17-4276-9765-81ac876d6eeb.jpgv1717763288 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>This kit is ideal for a sim racer who already owns the CSL Pedals two-pedal set, frequently races in H-class, classic GT, rally, or drift events, and wants the feel of a clutch without breaking the bank.

A belt- or gear-driven steering wheel is sufficient to start with; an affordable direct-drive model (such as the CSL DD) offers a much better feel if your budget allows. Our tests, rated on a scale of 10, help you compare options without making a mistake.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>Direct drive or belt drive: What's the difference?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">A direct-drive base connects the steering wheel directly to the motor: the force feedback is more powerful, more precise, and more detailed than that of a belt- or gear-driven system. It\u2019s more immersive but more expensive, and it requires a sturdier stand. For beginners, a belt-driven base remains a good choice.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>Does this hardware work on PS5 and Xbox?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">It depends on the specific model, not the brand: with Fanatec, for example, PlayStation compatibility comes from the base, and Xbox compatibility comes from the steering wheel. Always check the console compatibility listed on each product page before buying, because a steering wheel designed for PC won't necessarily work on a console.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>Do you need a cockpit to get off to a good start?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Not necessarily, but a stable mount is essential: even the best steering wheel is useless if it wobbles on a table. A foldable mount is enough to get started; a rigid cockpit becomes really useful once you switch to a powerful direct-drive base.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>How much should I budget for a good setup?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Expect to spend about 300 to 500 \u20ac for a decent starter set of a flywheel and pedal set, plus a mount. Affordable direct-drive systems start at a slightly higher price but last for years. It all depends on your platform and your goals.<\/div><\/details><\/div><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\n    \"@context\": \"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\n    \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n    \"mainEntity\": [\n        {\n            \"@type\": \"Question\",\n            \"name\": \"Quel volant sim racing choisir pour d\\u00e9buter ?\",\n            \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n                \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n                \"text\": \"Visez un ensemble volant et p\\u00e9dalier coh\\u00e9rent avec votre plateforme, quitte \\u00e0 monter en gamme ensuite.
