How to Change Gear Ratios on Gran Turismo 4

Changing your gear ratio in the racing game Gran Turismo 4 increases your speed and changes the way your car handles. Break through your vehicle's stock top speed or be the first off the line by customizing your transmission. Gran Turismo 4 gives the option of automatically setting your transmission or individually tweaking each gear.

Instructions

- 1
  Buy a Full Racing Transmission from the Gran Turismo tune shop for the car you want to modify. Your car should be four-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive and have at least a 700 horsepower engine.
- 2
  Choose the settings icon from the race menu. You might need to start a race and immediately push "Pause" to get to the menu. Select the wrench icon next to "Transmission" to modify your gear settings.
- 3
  Slide the adjuster to left for higher speeds. Move it to the right for faster acceleration. Set each gear down three sets from the preceding gear.
- 4
  Change the auto setting for a broader adjustment. Selecting a high number gears your transmission to reach high top speeds. Lower numbers gear your car to accelerate quickly.
- 5
  Test your transmission's gearing in a practice race. If you have difficulty making turns, your car might be too quick for that particular track.
- 6
  Return to the shop to make any adjustments before you race.
