    So I installed the gambler pessima mod and tried to make a Honda CRV out of it.
    I tuned the gear and axle ratios to the exact ones of a 1st gen CRV.
    My set-up includes the standard 2.0 DOHC pessima engine with max torque of around 185
    The standard 5-speed pessima transmission with tuned gear ratios (tuned that from the game direcoty)
    The AWD system from the mod itself with tuned axle ratios (tuned that from the mod directory)
    And so I did some tests and climbs and found out that it was actually working beautifuly...until I checked my clutch temps.
    Clutch is beefed up to 250 instead of the default 150
    As I climb higher in the RPM the clutch starts gaining more and more temperature.
    I start with 20 C clutch. Launch takes the clutch to 30 C and then from 2k-6k rpm the clutch is already at 80C.
    Once I hit the rev limiter the heat continues to grow. Every RPM limiter hit/tick adds around 2C
    The problem dissapears from 3rd gear and above.
    Its only 1st and second.
    FWD pessimas with the same engine/trans dont have the problem either.
    So my question is how do I fix this problem. Is the clutch slipping? Should I look at the trans files from the game or something with the axle ratios from the mod.
    I call out to all modders and in general, the BeamNG community.

    Writing to whoever made the mod is probably the best choice, as that will fix it for everyone
