Advanced transmission flip?

[Alajarvi84]

Well on the first post you said right.. Ok now i have

2.819
2.249
1.669
1.304
1.165
F 2.500

Now i just line 3rd & 4th with 5th ? The 1st is now long but second looks like it is very short.

 

[Alajarvi84]

Can you just post yours ? So i have something to compare and to know that i am even in the right direction..

 

[seanneedscar]

^^^ I did, my mistake. I corrected the post

Yeah those ratios look good.

And yes line up 3rd and 4th. I know it looks weird but thats the way it should be. You want a very long first gear for these cars and you will be shifting quickly

and trust me youre in the right direction I would not misguide you. I want you to figure this out because once the light bulb goes off, you just 'get it' and tuning every car is very easy.

 

[Alajarvi84]

Ok, thanks i try these out -->

 

[Alajarvi84]

The Cougar seems OK, still there is a little hang on 3rd gear (5500rpm) ?

The suspensions are now fully customisable. The settings you posted are impossible to keep me on the road There is no traction at all when cornering. I use the cars for all kind of circuit races, so not to drag only.

Gears now

1st 2.819
2nd 2.249
3rd 1.523
4th 1.320
5th 1.165

Suspensions

Height -30/+50
Rates 2.2/2.0
Dampers (ext) 1/10
Dampers (comp) 10/1
Antiroll 2/2

Camber 4.5/0.0
Toe -1.00/+1.00

Are these even close to what you intended ?

 

[Alajarvi84]

How about

brakes ?
Aerodynamics ? (i do not use wing, it's hideous)
Ballast ?
LSD ? (no idea how to setup this..)

Btw i use G27 for driving and i do not use any assists, only ABS 1.

 

[seanneedscar]

Ha-ha, yes drag cars will handle terribly.

The cougar has traction problems. You will still spin in 3rd gear

That is the exact suspension setup I have on my cougar.

my ratios are slightly different because I use a slightly lower starting final. but that makes a negligible difference

once you get the hang of the shift points, you should never lose to another cougar (i never have)

brakes: doesnt matter
aerodynamics: cant put a wing on the cougar
ballast: dont touch it
LSD: 60 / 60 / 5

 

[Alajarvi84]

Sorry thats a lot of questions, but in my youth i was the kid who did not install adjustable suspensions to a toyota corolla, so my knowledge is very limited on the basics

 

[Alajarvi84]

Ok

 

[Alajarvi84]

Seems to work with both, the XR-7 '67 & Charger R/T '70. Thanks again Still i have to ask one thing, i saw a video in youtube where a '70 Charger beat the hell out of real race cars at Nürburgring !? How is that possible ? It cornered like a race car. Without any spoilers ?

 

[Alajarvi84]

Oh, and is there any way to get wider wheels ? These "drag" cars look a little weird with these Toyota Corolla size wheels :/

 

[seanneedscar]

I'd have to see the video. Even with a proper tune they still handle like crap

Also. cant change wheel width.

WTF ?

This link did not take me to anything drag realted.

 

[Alajarvi84]

Well not drag related, but that charger really seems to run like nothing i have ever seen.. Look at the speed when cornering, that must be either some sort of cheat or exceptionally good driver..

 

[Alajarvi84]

If the link did not work, then search "GT5 Dodge Charger 440 R:T '70 Nurburgring"

 

[AngelsDemon]

Does this help achieve quicker 1/4th times, or does it just make it easier to tune?

 

[mazdaman]

No sir check transmissions for dummies thread it will explain all. Welcome to gtp btw

 

[Slash]

Both

 

[Ravens_Boi]

I have a new way of tuning It's REALLY helps in the lower-powered cars, like my legendary CR-Z

Could you share this information?
