How to unlock the You Shouldn't achievement in Forza Motorsport 6 - Definitive Guide

The other two solutions cover most of the technical detail, but the ultimate way to make this easy if you are not used to a manual transmission is to use the Tesla Model S P85D. This car only has one gear, so you have no actual shifting to worry about. It's a bit of a barge in its stock tune, but it basically takes the transmission out of the equation. Combine with "New Driver" opposition, and one lap of the Indianapolis oval should do the job.

How do you win the actual dare mod card in the first place? Buy lots of the cheapest cards till you find it, or does it only appear in expensive packs?

Update: Got the dare card within 10 purchases of the 2nd cheapest 25k packs - they give a lot of Uncommon dare cards, actually more than the 50k ones (do not waste your money on the 50k packs as advised in the guide here!). The dare mod card is actually called 'Manual Shifting' (uncommon), despite the achievement calling it Manual Transmission (most cars in the game are manual, but players select auto shifting in the options, which this card overrides).

Also in the Options area (where you buy the 25k mods) you can change controls to 'Layout 8' which allows you to use the triggers for manual shifting and the A button to accelerate, which you may find easiest - Turn10 make me mad that they have 14 imperfect control schemes and no custom/definable control mapping! angry Dumber than my dog! cry

This worked for me, however, I increased the laps to 2 as the car is indeed a Barge especially running in to a corner at high speed. And at the end of the 1st lap I was in 2nd so tried again with 2 laps and managed to get to 1st just after lap 1 and held position until end of race.

Do you mind if I add the car tip to my solution? I'd give credit for the tip, of course? If not, I won't,since it's basically most of your solution.

Done twice now and still no pop. Maybe it's because it's Manual + Clutch? That would be stupid if that is the reason.

Yeah, have heard elsewhere that it needs to be PRECISELY the "Manual Transmission" dare mod - the clutch version does not count, even though it's harder.

By Swooshiain on 22 Sep 2015 17:06
Yeah, I can return the favor and confirm this. It has to be the one called "MANUAL SHIFTING" or else it won't pop.

I didn't own the Tesla - I tried renting it but the mod wasn't available to use with a rental.

It seems you need to own the car to use the Manual Transmission dare mod. The Tesla cost 110,00 CR.

The "Purity" mod also does not work - the super rare iteration of manual transmission. Gotta love this mod hunting expedition...

Getting the mod is the hardest part. I spent 1.4mil on packs to finally get one. As I'm an average player, I went with the Tesla. Having to think about gears AND trying to win a race just does my head in.

I set up a free play race of ten laps at the Indy oval because I wasn't sure I would get first in just one lap. Turns out that on easiest level that's exactly what happened. I stuck with the ten lap race anyway, as I was already committed. I lapped everyone by the 8th time around the track. Took me just over ten minutes to finish the race.

The cheevo popped straight after.

So, I basically followed CTM AudiRS6's guide, but I'm going to give it to you in a longer, more detailed, yet simpler format since some people seem to have some issues with this achievement.

1. Make sure you have the mod titled "MANUAL SHIFTING" ! This is a Purple Dare Mod, by the way. If you don't own it, keep buying the $50,000 "Superior Pack" Mod Pack until you get this mod. Once you own it, go ahead and equip it, or you can wait until you are at the race start menu to equip it then. It does not matter.
2. Go to Free Play from the Go Race Menu
3. In GAME OPTIONS, Make sure your options look like the following (I'm only going to put the ones that might make things easier for you in some way / Actually matter):
a. MAX DRIVARARS: 23
b. DRIVATAR DIFFICULTY: NEW RACER
c. LIMIT DRIVATAR AGGRESSION: ON
d. LAPS: 3 ( 1 might be the logical answer, but with the car I used, I didn't get to 1st place until right when the 2nd lap started, and I'm always afraid of messing up. But, do 3 and you should be fine for sure )
e. COLLISION MODE: ALWAYS OFF
4. Pick any car that you own. A good car to use would be the Tesla Model S P85D as it only has one gear, so you won't need to worry about having to shift. (Credit to Swooshiain for the tip and permission to use it in my solution)
5. Go to Select Track, and scroll over to Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Choose the 2nd one, titled "The Brickyard Speedway"
6. Go Over to Assists and change things to how you like them. I would recommend having DAMAGE, FUEL, & TIRE WEAR set to Cosmetic, as well as REWIND turned to OFF. Not sure if that is a thing either, but it popped for me this way.

Now that you are all set up, Go to Start Race. If the Purple Dare Mod "MANUAL SHIFTING" has not been equipped yet, do it now from the Mods menu.

Now, you can start the race. If you controller layout hasn't been altered in any way, cn_B should be up shift, and cn_X should be down shift.
Come in first, and the achievement should pop within a few moments.

IF YOU DISLIKED THE SOLUTION, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHY SO I CAN INVESTIGATE AND TRY TO FIX THE SOLUTION!

I had it at first, but I sold it because I hate driving with manual anything in games. I do pretty decent against online players who use manual, actually, when I rarely get online. (minus drag racing).
Then, I found it was an achievement. -_- spent a solid 500k trying to get the darn thing again.
I think there is an achievement for using so many mods or something, so it did help.

manzzz need to use manual more, it changes the way you drive, manual should be default as it is most places, automatic cuts off your car mid corner or short shifts...useless on most cars

Great solution! I tried this using the Tesla (has one gear, no shifting) on the Indy Oval track but the cheevo didn't pop for me. I Replaced the Tesla with the Porsche 918, and as soon as I finished the race the achievement popped.
Must be the uncommon "Manual Transmission" Dare Mod. I had to spend a mighty sum to get this mod to drop. :)

I didn't have the uncommon "Manual Transmission" mod and tried the rare "Manual w/Clutch" mod instead - no achievement. 450K credits later I pulled a "Manual Transmission" mod from a 50K pack and it worked like a charm (hit the right "up shift" bumper while driving a Tesla just to be sure). Thanks DCM!

Worst part of this for most people will be the luck of getting the mod. I spent over 6 million credits before I got it in the 50,000 credit Superior Pack. I had been buying the 25,000 150,000 and 300,000 packs and never got it in those. It is an Uncommon level rarity. Once you have it, equip it, and load up a 24 player race in free play against new racer difficulty drivatars. I used the oval indianapolis track and one lap in a GTR class R899.

Also should note that the Rare mod called "Manual with Clutch" does not work for this achievement. Has to be the Uncommon one called "Manual Shifting."

It does not seem to matter for the achievements if you set collisions to never when setting up the free play games. Still looking for this mod but I got the Triple Crown races easily that way. The other cars will all be ghosts when you're near them so no getting knocked about and having to get back up to speed.

Definitely not popping for me. First tried it in 2 career races and it didn't pop. Went to free play, didn't pop. Switched car to Ford GT, unloaded all the other mods and only left "Manual Shifting" (not the one with clutch). Finished first out of 24 and still nada. Even turned damage on. Any ideas?

I see people still getting it so there's gotta be some other condition for the glitch that only some players meet. May be something you can change/undo before you get it. I tested a few things but haven't found it yet.

I got this in a 25,000 CR mod pack, just so everyone knows it will show up there. Spent over 10,000,000 CR on Premium packs (hoping for a Back of the Pack mod) and never got one of these, and a few hundred thousand on the 50,000 CR packs looking for this one & kept getting the Manual with Clutch mod instead. Thought I'd try the cheaper one & had it pop up after 6 or 7 packs.

Another Purple Dare Card. It needs to be Manual Transmission. There is also a card stating Manual Transmission with clutch but that won't work. Anyhow, equip the card and finish the race using the correct controller-buttons to shift up & down. Any assist/difficulty counts since card overrides shifting-settings. This can be done in Free Play (with 23 Drivatars) as well.

A Tesla Model S seems to have only 1 gear. It's a bit of a weird car to have/drive but should help you if you are really struggling with Manual/Clutch.
