[REUPLOAD]
The previous upload was temporarily flagged by automated heuristics (false positive). The DLL has been reviewed and confirmed clean by Bitdefender. Microsoft Defender had also reported false positives, which I fixed. There shouldn’t be any more detections now.
## Improved Automatic Transmission v1.2 – ETS2 1.61
A plugin for Euro Truck Simulator 2 that makes the automatic gearbox behave like a modern car’s automatic transmission instead of a truck’s. Written for car mods, but applies to every vehicle.
This plugin is a new version (v1.2) of the “Improved Automatic Transmission v1.1” plugin (https://ets2.lt/en/improved-car-automatic-transmission-v1-1/).
## Features
Realistic Dual-Clutch (DSG) Simulation:
• True Dual-Clutch Mechanics
• Dynamic Shift Physics
• Proactive Gear Preselection
• Launch, Creep & Stand Decoupling
• Realistic DSG creep behavior with authentic clutch friction slip
• Natural brake-release roll-off
Engine & Idle tuning:
• Configurable idle RPM
• Better idle stability across different vehicle loads and engine configurations
Realistic Flywheel Physics:
• Overrides default truck inertia for responsive revving
• Authentic Drag & Fuel Cut
Adaptive Shift Logic:
• Dynamically scales shift points based on throttle position, pedal application speed and road demand
• Holds gears during throttle lift-off in corners, prevents overdrive upshifts while coasting and locks lower gears on declines for engine braking
Drive Modes & In-Game UI:
• 4 Drive Profiles: Normal, Sport, Comfort via hotkey (default: F8)
• In-Game Menu: F9 to customize transmission configurations
• Live Telemetry Dashboard
## Requirements
Developed and verified against Euro Truck Simulator 2 Version 1.61.1.0, Windows 64-bit. Tested with pedals and keyboard.
## Install
Video-Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/@realdeppelover
Copy the “bin” folder from the archive into your ETS2 installation directory, so the DLL ends up here:
“`
Euro Truck Simulator 2/bin/win_x64/plugins/car_automatic_transmission.dll
“`
Create the `plugins` folder if it does not exist. Start the game once and the folder `car_automatic_transmission` holding `car_automatic_transmission.cfg` appears next to the DLL:
“`
Euro Truck Simulator 2/bin/win_x64/plugins/car_automatic_transmission/car_automatic_transmission.cfg
“`
To uninstall, just delete the DLL and the `car_automatic_transmission` folder.
## Multiplayer
Single player only. Do not use with TruckersMP or Convoy.

hello!You can try adding the (Auto Hold) feature
Broo please fix the virus detected issue, I was enjoying the mod until it stopped working and I had to reinstall but could not , please fix ASAP so that we can use it. Great Work BTW
Yess, I’m really sorry about that. I’ve already sent an email to Microsoft asking them to stop flagging it as a virus. But unfortunately, I haven’t received a reply yet. I’m doing my best to fix this. I’m really sorry!
Your mod repeats that it’s a virus
Can you help me form discord to install the mod
Please use the download link in this comment. This page still refers to the old download link. I set a password on the old link so the old version can no longer be downloaded. I have already asked that the link on this page be updated to the new link:
