Improved in version 1.59.0.317. Still possible to perform take-off in high gear by abusing clutch-slip. Stalls under normal driving behavior.

No QA-ID, so I’ve updated thread title as fixed.

Yeah, I'm happy with the fix and I hope it stays this way. This is the most realistic the game has ever been! In real life, yes you could also take off in a high gear by slowly releasing the clutch, but talk about massive wear on the clutch mechanism.
