Learn about Forza Horizon's Gear Shift Assist, including manual and automatic transmission options and their associated bonuses.
Gear Shift Assist in Forza Horizon allows you to select your preferred 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, making it easier to manage. The game provides specific performance bonuses based on your chosen transmission:
- Automatic: 0% bonus
- Manual: +5% bonus
- Manual with clutch: +10% bonus
- Experiment with both manual and automatic settings to see which best suits your playstyle and the specific track you are racing on.
- Consider the manual with clutch option if you are comfortable with advanced controls and want to maximize your performance bonus.
