Shortly after the release of GT6 update 1.17, our forums exploded in a flurry of posts as our users realized that something had changed in relation to the transmission tuning options in the game.
The related topic has generated hundreds of posts of testing and debate, and Polyphony Digital formally acknowledged the issue in a post on the official site. Specifically, they confirm that changes to only the Final Gear value in a “Fully Customizable Dog-Clutch Transmission” will be reset after leaving the Car Settings menu.
Polyphony reports they are working on the issue and will report when the issue is resolved in a future update. Until then, note that you can avoid the bug by modifying other gear values in addition to the Final Gear setting.
As always, visit our Gran Turismo 6 forums for more discussion, and don’t forget to stop by our GT6 Tuning Forum for further analysis.

1 month later: still not fixed WTF
EDIT: nvm, 1.18 is out and fixed it.
I’m not playing this any more till you fix it. Terrible! Why not just back off the last update!?
No doubt. You may have the #@$%!&* Alpine cars back. Just fix the $%#@$&* tranny.
Stil the same sh!t, when you gone fix this f.cking prbl?????
I thought they already fix this hurry up
Make the automatic transmission changing gear slower than sequential or manual like real car !
Really want to play GT6 but not going too while this bug isn’t fixed. Hope it’s fixed soon.
Same here
still no DS4 support :(
How about the incorrect Top Speed? They should fix that too if they could.
Hell yeah, that’s a point!
The little bit about changing another gear while changing the final ratio doesn’t work.
My Corvette reset every single time I adjusted the final drive ratio regardless.
Not cool.
Oddly enough my new Viper worked fine, kept the first set up.
Ik this is random, but after watching a comparison video of GT6 and real life, I realized that they need to add realistic camera movement/inertia and shake/wobble for bumps and dips, etc. for a more realistic experience
+1 @Skarmory. +1 @Johnnypenso.
Agree I’d like to see Top Speed counter and markers for the gear ratios.
I might be wrong but I suspect many parts to the suspension modelling are for show, PD just being pretentious by making things look prettier. Not just the GUI has been made simpler but the controls simpler and underlying mechanics simpler. I think they have done this for the pure reason to make the game user friendly for someone whos never played GT before and this hides the big downgrade in suspension physics. Until I see some kind of acceleration test which proves otherwise that GT6 works as good as GT5 i’ll believe otherwise. Weight seems to work as a factor in slowing cars down which I notice in GT6 while tuning the gear ratios for drag racing. But other factors like toe, camber, ride height spring rate aero all affecting each other is impossible to know for certain until I see a Speed Test function.
GT5’s suspension modeling was even simpler than GT6’s.
Typical. Developers spend their time being GT instead of doing GT.
Now finally I will be able to finish my super awesome ultimate Daihatsu Midget II Drift Build!
Exactly Mike and sharpie. Suspension is a joke. Needs to work like it did in GT5. ALso since i started playing Forza 5 as soon as I come back to GT6 handling feels like an arcade game. The cars handle way too easily thats a joke aswell.
So Let me see they gonna fix this by this time next year :)
Hahahahaha so they’re acknowledging bugs now? Perhaps they should acknowledge all the bugs in the suspension part of the tuning. What a joke.
They started announcing known issues in September last year.
@Mike_grpA, we are assuming that PD thinks the way the suspension works is even a bug. I suspect GT suspension modeling is much simpler than we are led to believe with the different adjustments we are allowed to make. I think they are more for show than for go to be honest.
Yeah thats what mine is doing. It won’t allow me to set a new transmission. It defaults to the old tune in an online lobby.
It’s been mentioned in the forum, but worth mentioning again… if you use your custom tranny setup in online lobbies, it won’t reset to default
Oh so if I tweak other gears before my final gear it won’r invoke the bug ?
It’s a long shot, but can we get kaz to add in something that shows us our settings top speed too? It would seriously make this a lot easier
Can they also fix this?

Your talking about the top speeds being higher right?
They should fix the clutch issue with the fully customizable transmission while they’re at it :p

That was my thought too, what about the bug thats been here from day one!
I just went to try out some cars the other day and couldn’t bring myself to drive being confined to the paddle shifters. So I went back to drive them in GT5 instead, what a shame.

Its sad that people dont find this as big of an issue as the 1.17 transmission bug. Forcing us clutch users solely on stock transmission is pretty silly.
If I had a clutch, I’d be miserably angry about the clutch bug too. It’s probably just that there are so many less users with clutches.

Exactly what I have been saying from day 1.
I swear to god if they do not fix that in this update whule addressing other transmission issues I will make a video of me throwing my GT6 disc out of my sunroof while driving down the road. I will be completely done with this game

I dont play with wheel (pad user), but i’m with you

They won’t ‘fix’ this. They pretty clearly intended custom transmissions to act this way so it’s not a bug to them.
I don’t use a clutch but +13, “bug” or not it’s something that pisses some people off.

I usually only drive stock cars but the times I do upgrade the transmission in a car with a normal clutch I expect it to work that way. It’s the sole reason I haven’t bothered building any replica tunes. And yet another thing that’s making me wander away from the series after 16 years.
I honestly don’t care if ppl call it a bug, a glitch (which it isn’t) or whatever. It is an ISSUE, and a rather big one. I do adapt to it in pretending I have replaced a manual gearbox to a sequential changing my gears over paddles on something like a BMW 2002ti. But c’mon they can’t be serious, I have a H-shift patern and a clutch I want to be able to actually use it!

PD are dumb. How can a problem like this still be present, it’s beyond a joke.
