• Chairs: Playseat Challenge Chair
• Shifters: Logitech G25, Logitech G27, Logitech G29, Logitech G920, TH8A
• Configuration: Left-Hand Drive (LHD) setups, where the gearstick is positioned on the right side of the seat.

Ensure your equipment matches these specifications for proper fit and function.

4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to install the gearshift support mount onto your Playseat Challenge chair and attach your shifter.

1. Identify Mount Parts: Separate the two plastic parts of the gearshift mount. One part is longer and flat, designed to hold the shifter, while the other is shorter with a circular clamp.
2. Position on Playseat: Place the clamping part of the mount around the desired bar of your Playseat Challenge chair. Ensure the mount is positioned for a comfortable and accessible shifter location for LHD setup (typically on the right side).
3. Insert Rubber Piece (Optional but Recommended): If a rubber piece was included with your mount, insert it between the mount and the Playseat bar. This helps to increase grip and prevent slippage.
4. Secure Mount to Playseat: Align the two plastic parts of the mount and insert the provided screws through the designated holes. Fasten them with the nuts using the Allen key. Tighten securely, but avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the plastic.
5. Attach Shifter: Place your compatible Logitech G-series or TH8A shifter onto the flat, longer part of the mount. Use the shifter's original mounting hardware (not included with this mount) to secure it to the pre-drilled holes on the LICHIFIT mount.
6. Final Check: Verify that both the mount and the shifter are firmly attached and do not wobble. Adjust tightness as needed.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the LICHIFIT Gearshift Support Mount is securely installed and your shifter is attached, operate your gear shifter as per its manufacturer's instructions. The mount provides a stable platform for your shifter, enhancing your simulation experience.

• Ensure all connections are tight before each use.
• Avoid applying excessive force to the shifter or mount during use, as this can lead to premature wear or damage.

6. Maintenance

The LICHIFIT Gearshift Support Mount requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and nuts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Storage: If removing the mount for storage, keep all parts together in a safe place to prevent loss.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your gearshift support mount, consider the following:

• Mount is Slipping:
  Solution: Ensure the screws are tightened sufficiently. If a rubber piece was included, verify it is correctly positioned between the mount and the Playseat bar to enhance grip. Avoid overtightening, which can stress the plastic.
• Shifter is Loose on Mount:
  Solution: Check the mounting hardware that secures your shifter to the LICHIFIT mount. Ensure these are tightened according to your shifter's instructions.
• Difficulty with Installation:
  Solution: Review the installation steps carefully. Ensure you are using the correct screws and nuts provided with the LICHIFIT mount for its assembly, and your shifter's own hardware for attaching the shifter.
