try this when the rpm of your car is on the redline try to push the triangle button it will automaticly change u're gear to a higher one and at low rpm it will change to lower gear 👍
I think you're talking about when you're driving a manual. I do this myself sometimes because I can. When the car reaches redline, I just press triangle and it shifts smoothly (and I also found that the speed increases during the shift as well, more than between shifts). When in a high gear at a low speed, I press Triangle and the gears automatically downshift to the right gear for that speed which can also work for automatics in the game as well.
When the transmission downshifts using this techique, it skips gears rather than downshifting gear by gear. Believe it or not, it's quicker, so in many ways you're not crazy. Manual is easier though.
Here's another thing I found out: When you're driving a fast rear drive car like the Dodge Viper, get as much horsepower as you can into it. Set the ABS levels to 1 both front and rear (with the ASM and TCS off), then spin the wheels. Once the rear wheels start spinning, hit the brakes simutaneously so that the wheels don't stop spinning. After a while, check the replay and you'll see that the rear disk brakes glow very bright orange, more than you usually see them. Do this "trick" in Arcade mode on the Free Run at Laguna Seca in front of the Bosch logos, in the dirt, after the corkscrew turn since the replay camera focusses right onto the car.
But back to the topic--don't get angry when a poster finds something interesting. I think it was very clever he found out another way to shift.
