Learn about Gear Shift Assist in Forza Horizon 3, including manual, automatic, and manual with clutch transmission 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 gears, 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 game offers the following bonuses based on your selection:
- Automatic: 0%
- Manual: +5%
- Manual with clutch: +10%
Tips
- Consider your comfort level with manual shifting and the type of tracks you'll be racing on when making your choice.
- The bonus percentages indicate a slight advantage for using more complex transmission settings.
