Unsolved How to prevent clutch overheating? And make autos shift faster

hello, ive been working on a drag etk800 and its all going pretty good, lots of power (2500ish hp) radiator , block.

But i have 2 problems;
I succesfully ish installed a sequential gearbox from the sunburst into the etk but the clutch keep overheating wich makes the car as soon as i launch all show but no go.

Second problem is the automatic gearbox, it launches like crazy (wheelies for days) but it takes waaaay to long for the auto gearbox to shift up the revs are staying too long (1-2 sec) in the red. Before it shifts up.

Anyone knows how to fix those


Thanks

 

Anyone?

 

I believe

Code:

powertrain": [
    ["type", "name", "inputName", "inputIndex"],
    ["frictionClutch", "clutch", "mainEngine", 1],
],
"clutch": {
    lockTorque = xyz,
},

The lockTorque parameter controls what torque the clutch starts to slip at, maybe changing that from auto-calculate to an absurd value will fix it? On mobile so I can't really test it and I doubt the syntax is correct, but should work.

 

Thanks for the repley ill try it

 

No its launches like crazy , but as soon im in 2 or 3rd gear it starts to slip and the engine revs but it doesnt accelerate anymore.


About the auto transmission,
Again it launches like crazy but hangs to long in the gears will i want it to shift so it accelerates faster.

wich apps (names please im not really formilliar with the debug apps) you want then i can make a video when im home.

 

Increasing the torque converter size should make the transmission shift up sooner. Automatic transmissions usually wait a bit for both sides of the converter to reach a similar speed before shifting from what I can tell. If this messes with your launch though, just add a lockup clutch that activates in 2nd with some unholy high lockup torque value.

 

i have uploaded 2 videos: (quality is bad because its still finishing the upload)


on the auto tranny here you can see it already when shifting to 3rd but shifting to 4th takes waaay to long for my liking , anyway i gonna try the suggestions posted above

Clutch overheating problem was solved , the clutch was staying at 50% procent all the time because either i or on default the clutch was also assigned to the left joystick

 

i have a problem where my clutch overheats like crazy and i dont know how to keep it from doing that, i am making a legran drag mod
