Shifting to neutral at random
I've already reported this in the General Bug Thread but thought I would also post this here in case anyone knows how to fix it or why this might be happening. I also want to admit that I know next to nothing about these trucks so if this is some quirk associated with the vehicle then I have no clue.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it but the truck seems to keep shifting to neutral at random moments. It seems to happen most often when I use the brake or when I remove my foot from the accelerator.

I changed the key bindings but see no reason why it should be shifting to neutral on its own. I even changed the "Shift to Neutral" key in order to be sure that I wasn't accidentally pressing it.

I'm using the Real Automatic setting.

For automatic transmission if you have cruise control on while driving and goind downhill you will notice that the current fuel usage drops to 0 (zero) as the truck goes into neutral. This is because the truck doesn't need engine power to go downhill and it also saves fuel this way. It will only use retarder (if you have one and it's set to automatic) to slow itself down to match the speed set in cruise control. It's quite normal behaviour.

Alright, thanks for the info. I never had this happen to me in ETS2 so I was under the impression that it was a bug.
