Engine/Transmission resource code

#1 I have been experiencing alot of problems with this thing in terms of engine sound and gear shifting

For one, the engine revs way to high all of the time and the sound is so sped up that it really barely sounds like a car engine.

Then I noticed that the gears while they shift, really don't do a whole heck of a lot rather than slow the car down. It can still reach maximum speed in first gear.

Thats why I was really hoping someone else had worked with this code and had made some advances with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#2 OK I managed to fix the problems with gear shifting and and speed. The sound even matches up correctly except for a major problem, the sound is way too low and the rate of play is too high. When I make adjustments to the values in updateenginesound it actually messes up the "transmission" performance. HAs anyone made a successful fix in this?

#3 There is one additional thing that needs to be fixed. Setting up a speed limitation for the gears. Obviously 1st gear should not be able to do 60MPH.

Again, if anyone has had some success in updating this code I would love to hear it because I have been plugging away at it for a while now.

#4 Has anyone been doing any work on this?

#5 I am also interested in looking for improvements to this code, since I'm not all that great of a programmer. Any advances I manage to meek out I'll post here for reference.

#6 Just checking back to see if anyone made any great advances with this.

#7 I'm receiving a car model from my modeler very shortly, at which time I'll be spending some serious coding time ensuring proper function of the transmission. If there's any news I'll let you know for sure :)

#8 Well I am back at this again and checking if anyone out there got this to work better as in fixing up the sound and automatic transmission code? Also, as Tom Spilman mentioned it really lacks in horsepower on takeoffs.
