Let's start with the basics.

How is it wired?
What is the current behavior?
What is the desired behavior?

I assume you are using some software tool to turn the inputs into actions? Or have you just configured the gamepad to handle shifting in game?

Typically with a manual gear box you don't go into neutral by taking no action, you go into neutral by taking it out of gear, and could theoretically get it into any other gear. Paddle shifters are a little different, and if you are trying to emulate that, then I'm not sure why the gamepad circuitry wouldn't suffice by just clicking quickly through the gears.

Wiring is simple , microswitches are wired to + and - on gamepad where buttons where and it is configured in game like gamepad, the problem that I have when I pull the lever out it stays in gear , mod that Im playing relaise heavily to be able to go into N because of start . When Im starting the race car is is 1st gear and I cant go into N and in this mod you have to be in N to start race or else you get DQ
. Also is there any good softare that I can use like xpader but to remap buttons on game pad .
