I don't really tune myself. I just take other tunes posted here and tweak them to the PP requirements that I want. In the process of doing this, transmission setups don't always translate to having more or less power than was initially intended.
Because of this, I've been having some issues with the top speed on some of my cars. With default gears, the car will typically redline and hold its top speed over a long distance (such as the Mulsane Straight at Le Mans). However once changes get made, I've been having an issue with cars redlineing, hitting top speed, and then suddenly losing 5-7 MPH before accelerating again to redline. This repeats until I let off the gas for a corner.
So why is this happening? Is it because the top gear is unreachable for the car at certain final gears?
And is there something I can change to avoid this issue or would it be better to just set up the transmission from scratch for whatever I need rather than adjusting the final gear of existing tunes?
