Why can't I modify each gear with fully customizable transmission?

Its currently unclear if it will remain this way, or be unlocked at a later driver experiance level, or via a patch.

But rest assured that others are having the same issue.
 
Having same problem, is this a bug or do we need to reach a certain level...starting to become frustrating without a tune

Same with the Mach 1 mustang, I bought the LSD (didnt expect to change the diff ratio as GT never did before with the diff:indiff:), than upgraded to the 5sp with no luck either, and you cant purchase the 6sp for this car (why not PD?:ouch:) so had to go down the route of a fully customisable gearbox, which adds the whine:yuck:. Sure if you want a Race inspired car/sound thats fine, but I want a lightly modified street car with a higher topspeed/different gear ratios!
Some of the tuning limitations on the game just aren't logical:tdown:
 
I totally agree the lack of customisable gears is ludicrous. It was in prologue so why on earth is it not available in the full game?

Also, changing the 'top speed' slider or whatever its called seems to only slightly affect the lower gears. My case in point, i was trying to tune an s2000 for drift, and wanted to lengthen the second gear which only topped out at 90kph, after increasing the top speed by around 60kph it only increased second gear to around 110. I know it would only incrementally lengthen the entire set of gears to maintain the power band, but its just no good like this, i don't want baby tuning options i need the full thing. :yuck:
 
I want an answer to this

I want my money back for this game if I cant do this

if you go to the tuning shop and go to the fully customizable transmission it says "This is a special service that allows you to freely change the gear ratios of all the gears in your transmission. Once purchased you can change your gear ratios as many times as you like"
 
The suspension setup options are equally depressing. There's so many "OMG PD what were you thinking?!" moments in this game.

Whats so wrong about the suspension setup options? It seems to be the same thing the GT series has always offered. The only thing I would add if they where to add additional advanced settings was separate fast and slow bump and rebound settings, caster, bump stops, tire pressures and preload but GT has never been the kind of simulator to have these sorts of things so I'm quite happy with what is provided.

The only major tuning oversight I've found is the fully customizable transmission which no doubt will be fixed with a patch.
 
Huh? Did you play GT4?

GT5 has a tyre temperature indicator, but no tyre pressure adjustment :banghead:
 
What is wrong with buying a full-customize gearbox (not fixed) and even placing yourself on A-spec LV 10 for good measure to say the least?! You'll have to go to Settings when you are almost ready to start a race. It was simple to me like that.

Furthermore, I haven't even updated any software after I found out about negative feedback from the GTP users. The disc-installed version I got works like a charm when I do some adjustments. I haven't seen any bugs on my part yet.
 
it looks like they needed another dam year to get the game working like it should

maybe they shouldnt have added stupid nascar and gocart racing and actually did this right

I have many problems with the game

1. the transmission of course
2. the cars take to long to load the pictures of them when looking at them in the new car lot
3. no tire pressure
4. the "damage" sucks - just remove it already or do it like forza did that was better then this crap, I can smash a car into a wall and it is just fine looking
5. garage view, stupid as if its aded on at the last second - doesent even take up the whole screen
6. the AI is still stupid as hell, they will smash into me at high speeds just because I am in there "line they are programed to drive on" - also during the license test I get disqualified if I hit someone but not if they hit me, they are being dick heads and pressing on the brakes just as I am behind them in a place that needs no braking and I hit them to get disqualified
7. it said it would load faster if I installed it to the HD, but it is not "loading" its "installing..." it says for everything, I thought I installed it already so why is this needed
8. no "in car view" for almost all cars
9. I have to waste money on a car when I first start the game just to do the license test, but never use that car and upon finishing the tests I win a car that I could have used in place of the one I had to buy
10. IT TOOK THIS FRACKING LONG TO GET THIS GAME OUT AND ITS STILL BROKEN
11. I had to update my PS3 and it removed the "install other OS" feature that I use every week - I think I will just try to return this game and get a copy off the internet for free just to play once in a while if this isnt fixed


I have stopped playing this game completely now and tomorrow I will go to walmart and get my money back claiming its not a complete game - dont think it will work because its open? - WRONG I have a friend who returned Black Ops a day after he got it (he told them he waited in line for this and they remembered him from the other night and its not working online so he got his money back, the manager at walmart game him store credit he can use for anything there so I will try to do that and maybe if its patched to fix this crap I will buy it again, but until then if I want to play it I will get a copy of and play it on my modded ps3 no problem

what a waste of time
 
any update on this, I have gotten my money back for the game but I still want to play it

I will buy it again if this is solved but until then I wont play

if its never fixed I will just get a copy somehow and play that if I want to but I will never pay for a game like this thats not complete after 6 F-ing years of development

Might it work just for some cars and not others? I noticed that fully customisable suspension doesn't let me change anti-roll bars on some cars, but does on others. Perhaps changing individual gear ratios is the same. Anybody tried it on one of the race cars?
 
1. Not everyone is a mechanic specialist.
2. Being original basically means your playing "that car" not "your car".
3. It's not just the top speed it's also how the gears get through.
4. If you want to be a mechanic go to mechanic school.
5. A recap of #2 that car your driving is not the car you made.

Lastly

6. It's a sure 99% probability that this has already been made decisions of off the main simulation developers

7. This is the pinnacle of driving simulation do not expect gear ratios to be made by your brain. A car will have it's own.


8. Your not the car manufacturer.


9. Wanna customize your own rationality?? Get forza :D

It says for lower levels it is best not to touch each gear separately, so you can only change the top speed.

This means we'll be able to change ratios probably at higher levels.

CAN ANYBODY CONFIRM THIS?

where does it say that?

I had the same problem with a old challenger, I even bought the 5speed trani and couldn't fix the top speed.. sux

i changed mine to 199mph by dragging the final gear it changed all the gears over all though hope that helps

So you know the probabilities by now
 
I have a ISF that i have upgraded for the pro series world championship. It has about 550HP. PUt in a level one power upgrade, suspension and customizable trans...Now gears 1-4 are insanly short and the rest are insanly long. when i shift into 5th i am only going 60mph. but the car will max at 170. Changing the top speed makes little to no difference. I guess i am stuck with a lexus model for pictures only until i can get it patched.

EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!

what is all this crap about maybe it will unlock latter, or you shouldnt be changing those anyways you arent a mechanic and so on

yea it says its not best to change them or whatever, well I know what I am doing you stupid idiots so let me change it already

Is it an 8 speed gearbox?

Do you really need all 8 gears? (no...you don't)

Adjust the top speed slider to where you can hit 65mph in 2nd or 3rd gear.

Voila! Problem solved. (sorta)

I do not want to use all 8 gears. I have adjusted the slider as you described, and have not found anything that works yet. If i could tune individual gears...it would help a ton.

Thanks ..gonna keep tweeking it.
 
1. Not everyone is a mechanic specialist.
Nor am I but only some basic maths skills are needed to work out how to tune things like a gearbox.

2. Being original basically means your playing "that car" not "your car".
If it's original, it is MY CAR, not THAT CAR.

3. It's not just the top speed it's also how the gears get through.
And in this case, they space the gearing out too much, compared to GT4.

4. If you want to be a mechanic go to mechanic school.
Where is this mechanic school you speak of, because around here if you want to be a mechanic, you become an apprentice and learn to be a mechanic off a mechanic!!

5. A recap of #2 that car your driving is not the car you made.
But what if it was?? If you modify it to your tastes, it IS the car you made.

6. It's a sure 99% probability that this has already been made decisions of off the main simulation developers
Gran Turismo was the 1% that stood out, now it's joined the 99% of sheep.

7. This is the pinnacle of driving simulation do not expect gear ratios to be made by your brain. A car will have it's own.
My brain calculates better ratios than the game ever could.

8. Your not the car manufacturer.
No, I'm the car modifier. I improve what the manufacturer gives me.

9. Wanna customize your own rationality?? Get forza :D
Don't need my own liveries, just want a complete tuning ability for the cars that I've built. We've all been able to since GT1, why not now??
 
im sure you will be able to modify each gear, because the icons are there for each individual gear, its just greyed out. Maybe you have to unlock it at a higher level or it will be unlocked later through a system update or patch.
