Transmission woes

[johnnymat]

I've been playing R3E recently after a long absence. I have a question about damage modeling on the ADAC 2013 Camaro. The last two races I've run at Red Bull Ring have resulted in catastrophic damage to the transmission. I'm using a G27 wheel and have auto-clutch enabled. I don't recall having this kind of problem many months ago when I last played the game. Have there been some changes to the game and if not, any idea as to what I'm doing wrong?

How long into the race before it fails?

I just ran a 30 minute race, get real with all damage on using paddle shifters and autoclutch...no damage.

I found out what was causing the problem; I didn't have auto-clutch enabled. I just assumed it was enabled because I was shifting without a clutch. I didn't think that was possible without auto-clutch being enabled. Evidently it's possible for about 15 minutes.
