Gearbox problem

Hi guys
I have quite a big problem which makes me almost unable to enjoy F1 24. I use an automatic gearbox and whenever I hit the track, the car upshifts in the most terrible moments, making me unable to fight and being overtaken by almost all the drivers. Moreover, it never reaches 8th gear, and whenever I want to upshift, it shifts back to 7th automatically. I wouldn't have a problem with using manual gearbox which I did in the past, but currently I do not have a wheel so I need to use a controler. Have you got any ideas what the solution might be?

  • Without turning the gearbox assist off, there isn’t any real fix to this as its how the system has been set. I understand it is frustrating though

    First a question: Have you programmed the gear buttons to be something else? Are they double assigned?

    Otherwise re-set the controller you are using re-assigning all the controls. I have had to do that once in awhile for no apparent reason. It’s a very bizarre game in its inconsistency. 

  • @ZAC92Team Paddles...there are some kits you can add would be my suggestion since you've used gears before.
