WHAT THIS MOD DOES: This mod changes the shifting logic for manual transmissions in order to simulate proper manual transmission shifting by releasing the clutch when the engine revs are matched to the next gear. This makes for a smoother, much more satisfying shift, as well as wearing the clutch much less.
NEW 'QUICK SHIFT' FEATURE: I've added a new 'quick shift' feature where holding the shift button, instead of pressing, will force the shift and dump the clutch in a quarter of a second for when you really need to power through that shift as quickly as possible foregoing any care of the clutch. Most useful when under a lot of wheelspin, such as when rallying, off-roading, drifting, or drag racing.
DOES NOT SUPPORT H-Shifters.
REQUIRED that Clutch Assistance and Throttle Assistance are turned on in Gameplay settings. Works with both Arcade and Realistic Transmission modes.
HOW TO USE: This mod works for every manual transmission in the base game, simply select the corresponding transmission in the parts selector that shows (Proper Mod). To use the 'quick shift' feature, just hold the shift button instead of pressing it.
TIPS: To shift faster, equip a lighter flywheel or a closer-geared transmission, or now just use the 'quick shift' feature.
Original Additions:
- Sunburst: 6-speed manual, try out the different gear ratio presets
Will be adding more
Advanced Users: If you want this mod to work universally with all manual transmissions by default, including mod cars, follow this guide:
1. Find this mod in your mod repo folder
2. Unzip the file
3. Within it, navigate to the lua\vehicle\controller\vehicleController\shiftLogic\ folder
4. Copy the manualGearboxProper.lua file and paste it to the same place
5. Rename the new copy to just manualGearbox.lua, such that both manualGearboxProper.lua and manualGearbox.lua are in that same folder
6. This is important: Zip up the mod exactly as it was before i.e. opening the zip file should lead directly to three folders.
You will have to do this each time I update the mod.
