I would just like to know if it is possible to do the tranny trick in GT5 P.

I am currently trying to beat the PP700 Pro hot lap challenge at the London street course.

I am currently 5th on the leader board and finally decided to download the top ghost replay to see where I am slower.

Instead of a long explanation I will just describe one instance: I am better on the brakes and faster at the apex of the hairpin at the beginning of the lap. But when we are in a straight line and start to accelerate he absolutely nails me to the first sector. At least 2/10ths of a second all in a straight line - its like he/she has more horsepower and less weight. It's crazy. I have tried more horsepower and more weight, I have tried less weight less power but I still can't replicate the acceleration that the number one driver is achieving. It is definitely not a traction issue, this is from when we are in a straight line and already have momentum. I also tried torque distribution but that didn't help either.

The reason I ask about the tranny trick is because I watched their replay carefully and the gear changes and rev drops are quick and very very close. Just like the tranny trick.

Any ideas? The best car to do the time in (49.3) is in a Nissan GTR 07.
 
Hi Kart, nice to see you here. 👍

I have no idea if the tranny trick works in GT5P, but it's something worth looking into. Another possibility is different regions, what region does the top time come from? As I'm sure you already know, there are a number of cars in GT4 that are different in performance, The Dodge Viper is faster in NTSC versions for example.

EDIT:
This might be worth a read:

Hi :) Not quite the full on tranny trick i don't think, seeing as there's no auto-set in the gearbox section

But it's nearly the same i think to set the final drive all the way to the right, then crunch up the individual gears
into a nice close cluster, and then wind the final drive to the left till you get the desired top speed
 
Maybe they're just better than you....

This actually does alot in GT5p, not like it did in GT3, but close... especially in the low-end of the gearing for most cars.
 
Haha funny guys.

I must be missing something though, I have tried to run the ratios as tight as I can but to no avail. To me it seems like a horsepower thing, he/she has much more wheelspin in the lower gears, something I can't replicate. At the finish line no.1 is 8km/h quicker than me which is hectic if you consider that we are just going in a straight line :P

Oh well, tough luck 'ey. If I discover anything I will let you guys know. I will look high and low for this one.
 
I think the tranny trick only existed in GT4P. If you are referring to press triangle (reverse when redlining to shift).
