Kerr, you are correct, on the settings screen their listed as standard not full custom but if you hit the wrench you can tune them. for this setup I obviously left them stock. I'll work on them later.

Thanks

No prob, that's what makes this site so great. A GT community to better all. I added LSD and gears, although 5th and 6th should still be closer and at higher values. (take the final to around 4.8 and then tranny trick to get close). I can be more agressive with this car now, early apex and power out.

Glad you like it.

I know this sounds stupid but could somebody please explain the tranny trick? I usually tune all of the gears by myself, bu this tranny trick sounds easier and very effective. What are the benefits it has over custom gears? Thanks

In my experience with the gearing, I have found the "lines" on the gear "graph" most helpful in determining shift points. The more parallel they tend to be, the better distribution of power over the entire band through all the gears. The final ratio is the real key to determining how you want the car to perform. Obviously a very low or "open" final ratio will result in wider gears however the ratios will remain constant with respect to each other as you adjust this final ratio. So start with the final ratio high, or "tight", and adjust the individual gears until each one represents the portion of speed capability with respect to the max speed that you desire, and then open up that baby until you get the max speed desired. As you increase the final ratio, the "lines" will no longer be parallel but be decreasing in slope in a gradual fashion. This is good since, as said before, the gears remain in proportion to each other, they just all widen out equally.
