Hi guys,
Please correct me if I’m wrong but it seems there aren’t any buttons that will keep me from upshifting in automatic transmission mode. T10, would it be possible to have that option? I think that’s the second biggest benefit to having a manual. In automatic transmission, the RPM does not even hit the redline before shifting. Thanks!
Ps - I am in love with the Left Trigger during replays.
What you should do is learn to race with a manual transmission then. Spend a bit of time driving with it, and get used to it. You’ll find that not only is the automatic shifting up at wrong times, but also doesn’t downshift when it should either. You’ll be faster once you get used to racing with manual transmission.

I know how frustrating it is trying to get used to the controller.
I came from a PS3 with a steering wheel on GT5, to Forza 5 on the controller and it took me a good few weeks to get used to things. Once you have the basics down and know how to control the car, start to feed in the manual gear changes. It’s ALOT quicker than auto and it’s something you will need to master to be competitive and progress in the game.
Yes I understand it’s faster. I have always raced with manual transmission in gt2 and gt3. It was not an option. The thing is I’m still trying to get used to not using the triggers for shifting like I did with the ps controller. And eventually I will switch over. I just got the xbox 3 days ago. The only thing I currently use are the traction controls with simulation steering. But even then it would make a whole lot of sense for that option to be available to those that prefer automatic. Thanks!
