Shift Lock ?

[KiwiBoy]

Yesterday I was driving a C280 from Mercedes, since my mom took her car for tune up. It came with a 5-speed transmission with manual shifting. I was driving in third gear when I saw a red light up ahead. I released the gas pedal and started to let the car cruise, when I remembered that engine braking can help slow the car down, so I shifted to second gear, the rpm went from 2000(in third gear) to about 800(in second gear). Then the rpm raised to 2600 rpm and a strong dragging force was felt, it felt like I was braking. The rpm continued to drop to about 800(idle speed) as I slowly braked to a stop. I believe that the strong dragging force is because the car doesn't rev-match when it downshifts. Lucky that the car was a AWD, so it didn't lock-up the rear wheels. Now going back on topic, I haven't seen any car in GT4 that when I downshift without giving it any gas, the rpm would go to idle speed and then rise up to the rpm it is suppose to be for that vehicle speed. Shift lock is caused by the dragging force when you don't rev-match when downshifting.

This is some thinking I have done, relating real life experiences with GT4. Since I haven't ask any professionals about this, so I'm not sure if I'm totally right.

Thanks again dking your alot of help to me.Now I know I did shift lock I guess it works best on wet and snow courses.

thats good because i knew i shift locked but i didn't think it was possible and i know what shift lock is thanks for making me know that i was right because i was kind of on the i don't know side but now i know i did it.

I'm going to say this one more freakin time
you can't shift lock and never will shift lock no matter what car just like Suzuki said the game matches rev altime and there isn't a clutch so you can't do nothing about it accept the truth and that is that so no more you can or can't!

Am I the only one who sees something odd in the way your opinions have progressed? First you were completely sure that there is shift lock in GT4 but now you're fighting to tell people that there is not.

HUH? what are you talking about shift lock is perform using clutch of shifting down only, ok even you say can perform shift lock i tell you theres no way man cos the creator of GT can't make the effect so real to make the rear lock by shifting down and what does you mean by > This is like pulling the E-brake through a turn, but this should be performed on wet ground to minimize damage to the driveline. Similar drifting technique to Clutch Kicking. < LOL e-brake is e-brake drift and clutch kicking is not a tec on drifting its only to make the rev more during corners you play D1GP theres demo on clutch kicking. So that's all <(^(OO)^)>

umm clutchkicking is a Drift technique,The clutch is "popped" to give a sudden jolt through the driveline to upset rear traction, causing the power wheels to slip.
