Transmission Tuning!
****This isn't my idea, I'm making possible what I got from the thread by @praiano63 in GT5, but since we don't have those nice "clicks" this will give you the same result.
****If someone wants to post the final gear to top speed formula I will add it to the post with credit to poster (or whoever posted it in that other thread that I can't find offhand)
So, you want those nice settings from GT5 where you could have clean shifts throughout the rev range? I can help with that. Determining the top speed will be up to you, but if you dont go max final then min top speed before doing this I recommend increasing the top speed value 2 "slides" higher than what you want your top speed to be.
Okay, here we have a Ferrari 430 Scud(missile)eria '07. The top speed is about 205mph @ redline, but we want more speed and/ or acceleration. Usually both, and that's what I'm going to explain.
Step 1: adjust max speed slider up two clicks (217mph in my case)
*The gear ratios will change
Step 2: set 1st gear all the way left (this is known as a longer, or taller, gear - yes, little number big gear!)
Step 3: for each gear you will do this (six-speed only):
(max number - min number)/10 = x
For a 6-speed transmission, you must do the first equation for each gear, then multiply x by the following:
2nd: x*2
3rd: x*4
4th: x*6
5th: x*8
5-speed trans:
2nd: x*2.5
3rd: x*5
4th: x*7.5
- Add the result to your minimum gear setting, and you will be good to go
example for 2nd gear:
2.801 - 2.059 = 0.742
0.742/10 = 0.0742
0.0742*2 = 0.1484
0.1484 + 2.059 = 2.207
I rounded to 2.21
Step 3: set 6th gear all the way right (this is known as a shorter gear, yes, higher number shorter gear)
Here's the result (notice, I use ratios that are actually possible, three decimal places would mean hundreds of tiny teeth IRL, and you would strip every single gear in the transmission without even trying!)

utput ratio, while still being strong enough to withstand allt eh force necessary.
