    So at the moment these are the modes:
    Park
    Reverse
    Neutral
    Drive
    Sport
    Manual
    2 - 1/2 auto
    1- locks to 1

    But a 3rd mode would be good to stop overdrive on the 4 gear transmissions.
    And a winter mode disallowing 2nd gear would suit the ETKs and other new cars.
    And Torque Converter lockup needs more parameters, like the vehicles insist on locking up in high gears whereas it should be based partly on the throttle too, as the throttle will unlock the T/C (but passing a certain RPM it needs to lock up again, to keep in the low gear). Hard to explain, but the cars are too eager to lock up, especially the LeGran and older cars

    It's mostly used for racing because you mostly use 2&3 gear

    To keep it simple you don't have to use the clutch to shift in it, as long as you rev match
