Simnet SSQ-1 Sequential Shifter

The Simnet SSQ-1: A Shifter You Can Actually Tune

The Simnet Sequential Shifter is built around one idea. Shifter feel is personal, so you should be able to change it. Five interchangeable detent balls, 25mm of handle height adjustment and adjustable resistance cover the range. As a result, you can set anything from a smooth silent glide to a hard mechanical clack.

Most shifters give you one feel and that is what you live with. However, this one is designed to be adjusted until it is right.

Tailor Your Notch and Feel

The SSQ-1 ships with five types of interchangeable detent ball. Each gives a different combination of tactile notch and audible click. So you can swap them to suit the car, the discipline, or just what you enjoy.

• Nylon PA66, 7.5mm. Pre-installed. Balanced notch and click, the sensible starting point
• POM, 8.0mm. Similar to nylon with a slightly softer notch, and longer wearing
• Zirconia ceramic, 8.0mm. Louder than nylon, quieter than steel, and self-lubricating
• Steel, 7.5mm. The strongest notch and the loudest click, plus superior durability
• Steel, 7.92mm. Balanced notch with a clear click, not as loud as the 7.5mm steel

Grub screw tension adjusts spring preload on top of that. Therefore each ball type covers a range rather than a single fixed feel. Always run matching balls on both sides.

Solid Metal Construction

Stainless steel and CNC-machined aluminum throughout. In addition, the powder coating resists corrosion and adds a fine non-slip texture. Rigid where it needs to be, so the shifter is not the thing flexing when you slam a downshift.

Seamlessly Adjustable Handle Height

25mm of stepless height adjustment. Raising or lowering the handle changes the ergonomics and the shift throw together. So you can set reach to your seating position and throw to your preference at the same time.

Multi-Command Handle

The handle carries a multi-function trigger for instant neutral and reverse. It also adds programmable inputs for whatever else you reach for most. As a result, controls stay under your hand instead of on a keyboard.

Third-Party Wheelbase Support

A dedicated transit port connects directly to select third-party wheelbases. Because the shifter is recognized as a native local device, this is genuine plug-and-play rather than a workaround. It also connects over USB to a PC.

Straightforward Software

Basic settings monitor and reverse upshifts and downshifts in a couple of clicks. Meanwhile advanced settings expose the raw shift-up and shift-down readings. Therefore you can set the exact trigger point to match how you move the lever.

Build It Out

Optional upgrades extend the platform. The A-HLE lever extension kit offers adjustable length combinations for changing mechanical feel and notch intensity. In addition, the A-HSG soft grip adds a plusher touch surface.

The A-PHS mounting plate holds the SSQ-1 and a Simnet handbrake together as one unit. Each has independent horizontal, vertical and rotational adjustment. The plate also flips over for right-hand or left-hand drive layouts.
