XB1 Auto clutch glitch on road cars

Hey guys, ever since v1.09 on xbox ,only the road cars with paddle shift auto clutch gets enabled somehow. I have always ran with it off and still do but now the clutch is unresponsive and the new pedal input bars shows its being done automatically and I like to use it in certain situations but now it don't work.

Am I the only one that this is happening to cuz I don't see any other posts about this paticular issue.

so far I tested 6 road cars and 4 gt3 cars and the gt cars work as intentionally

I have the g920 with shifter

Hopefully it's an easy fix

 

I'm having a hard time understanding your description. Can you give an example car and your settings (auto clutch on/off)? I'm happy to do some testing to verify whether it's an issue on PS4 too.

 

Basically he is saying you can't engage the foot clutch on many cars with sequential shifting...the Porsche 911 s is one such example (of many)

 

You can only use the clutch manually with cars that have a clutch pedal/paddle IRL.

Of course all manual cars and some race cars, like GT3/GT2 or modern single seaters, that have a manual clutch to start and after that shift without disengaging the clutch.

Road and race cars with a double clutch or automatic gearbox don't have a manual clutch and so these have the auto-clutch.

This was changed fairly recent on the pc too, so I guess this was included in the recent update.

 

It's just I like to hold the clutch to put in neutral while I'm still in first or second gear and release to do a burnout or get that boost around a slow corner but now the clutch dosent engage when I press it .

Now I'm not sure if these cars have a clutch in real life but I'm almost positive the nissan gtr does but apparently not in game v1.09

 

The Nissan GT-R road car does not have a clutch pedal.

 

Ok awesome thanks for reply if I only had the money to buy some of these cars n see well that's good to know that it's probably not a glitch and it's more my incompetence haha

 

Any road car equipped with paddle shifters will not have a clutch. In real life, these cars have either a dual-clutch, automatically actuated transmission, or a standard torque-converter automatic with "sport" programming. Neither of these transmissions have a clutch pedal in any road application.

Many race cars (GT3 and up) with paddle shifters have a clutch, but it's only intended for use when getting the car going. The transmissions in these cars are fundamentally different than a road car though. They are true sequential-manual transmissions. These transmissions often have no syncro-mesh mechanism, and cannot be shifted normally (slowly) with manual clutch actuation. The reason is that a synchro-mesh transmissions aren't as durable (the synchro clutches wear out) as a properly shifted dogbox, so significant engineering effort is required for a synchro-mesh transmission to survive an endurance race.

In the past, it was possible to use the clutch with the paddle-shifter equipped road cars, but this was actually what I would consider the "glitch".

 

Exactly, previous of the patch it was simply wrong to have control over the clutch in the cars that don't have it IRL.

 

Ya that's where I didn't realise it wasn't supposed to be and thought it had it then after 1.09 it wasn't there I thought it was wrong but turns out it was me that was wrong the entire time . lol

I usually do research before posting and obviously should have this time around

Thanks for the info

 

It was discussed on the PC area, but the console gamers don't have access to that.

I just always thought it was weird from the beginning.

 

Thanks for having a level head, most threads dont turn out this politely as most people dont want to admit there wrong, but Again Very well handled Makaveli.
