Learn about Gear Shift Assist in Forza Horizon 2, including manual and automatic transmission options and their performance bonuses.
Gear Shift Assist allows you to select your car's transmission type: manual or automatic. This choice is entirely based on player preference.
Manual transmission offers greater control over your vehicle, but there's a risk of missing a gear, which can force you to slow down. Some players may find constantly shifting gears on winding tracks to be cumbersome.
Automatic transmission simplifies the driving experience. The performance bonuses associated with each setting are:
- Automatic: 0%
- Manual: +5%
- Manual with clutch: +10%
Tips
- Consider your personal playstyle and comfort level when choosing a transmission.
- If you prefer more direct control and are comfortable with shifting, manual or manual with clutch may offer a slight performance edge.
- If you want a simpler, more relaxed driving experience, automatic is a good choice.
