    I would love to see shift kits be added into the game. If you don't know what a shift kit is here's a definition from Mister Transmission:

    "In short, an automatic transmission shift kit modifies the transmission’s shift timing in order to dramatically increase shift firmness and durability of the transmission components."

    They also state that "Transmission shift kits can reduce this overlap time while improving the overall shifting action. By better utilizing the energy normally turned into heat by slipping during extended overlap, shift kits allow you to instead use that inertial energy for forward motion with quicker shifts, therefore you’re also able to notice improved city fuel economy."

    Here's one at work too:

    The chirp of the wheels is from the forward motion

    Anyways, back to the suggestion, maybe there could be different types of shift kits that could have different shift intensities.

    Hi! I think adding shift kits would be an awesome feature for the game! It would enhance the driving experience by making shifts feel more realistic and dynamic. Different shift intensities could also add a layer of customization and strategy.
