Just checked the config file.
The car specific ‘auto clutch’ customisation gives the clutch a very-high ‘baulk torque’ - which means that the clutch will not slip due to engine torque - so a gear change request will always be successful. It also sets the gear shift time/delay to a fixed interval.
the manual clutch customisation sets a much lower baulk torque - 240Nm compared to 700Nm - so if you just force a change under power, there’s a chance that the engine torque will overwhelm the clutch and it will slip. In addition, the timing becomes a little bit variable (I think) and you’ll need to lift and blip. You *can* run the auto-clutch Assist on the manual clutch customisation which probably makes it a bit more realistic and a bit less of a rev-matching lottery.
I can - of course - modify the baulk-torque settings and basic timings so that the manual-clutch is easier to engage. I can also rename the customisation to avoid confusion with the Assist!
