A friend of mine can't get his cars out of fifth gear no matter how he
configures it (keyboard, joystick, wheel) anyone come across this yet. He
went as far as to reinstall W98SE and just his video card and nothing else.
Using keyboard only, he is still stuck in fifth gear.

Just a suggestion. Perhaps he needs to reconfigure his gears. Have him try
various setups for gearing and see if he encounters the same problem. If
the gearing ratios are wrong for 5th gear and above, he can get stuck in 5th
gear.

Probably a fault in the setup, for really good and fast setups go to

This should solve the problem.

Check the "free shift" option in the controller menu, it's only for RS
Shiter from ACT LABS, it is labled rather vaguely.
