Constantly Grinding Gears

[Beeenos]

So I'm really new to RRE and been trying to learn heel n toe while waiting for my SHH Newt shifter to come in, won't be here for another month. So right now, I'm using a T150 with T3PA pedals and using paddles with clutch on older cars, and turned on h-pattern shifting so it wouldn't auto blip for me on downshifts, but no matter how slow or fast I shift on any old cars, I just get a loud grinding from the transmission. Is it because I'm not using an H-pattern shifter, or is it just my shifting ability? Thanks.

Do you press the clutch while shifting or not?

yeah, i depress it all the way down, off throttle, on clutch when shifting up, and on clutch and blip when shifting down. i even slow it down and i still grind.

Maybe it's not working correctly when you enable H-pattern shifting without actually using an H-pattern shifter.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. I guess we’ll see once I get my shifter, and hopefully it works

Should do. Never had any issues with my shifter in R3E. I did lower the range of my clutch pedal though, as the bite was too high for my liking which would often cause a mis-shift in the heat of racing.

(Am I imagining things, or did R3E used to have an option to set the bite point?)

I also drive vintage cars with an H-shifter and heel-and-toe and I often get some missed upshifts or downshifts, especially as I spend my time hotlapping and chasing the final thousandths... Some cars need you to be very precise if you don't want to waste your lap .
