Something I always thought would be neat, especially since LFS already has good steering animations (a few updates back it even got increased from 720 to 900 degrees or something like that), since it's a sim it'd make sense to add some gear shift animations too, primarily manual stick shifters and paddle shifters. Cars that use a sequential stick shifter like rally and touring cars could probably just use the manual stick shifter animation or something.

I don't know, I just like the smaller details like that. Considering all the other nifty features and realism of LFS I'm surprised this wasn't something that's included already lol.

Already suggested multiple times.
