No, the shifter does not work on the Spider wheel. The only add-on that works with it is the T3PA pedals. The 458 Italia wheel was definitely worth the $300 for me. I love this thing, just got it 2 weeks ago and now have a wheel stand for it. Completely worth the $500 total I just spent (wheel stand + wheel + warranty + tax). Next up will be the pedals, then the shifter for me. But not for a while.
