Also worth mentioning there is a shift delay in a lot of the lower class cars. You cant release the clutch until you see the gear number move in the bottom right hand corner of your screen. Anything else will strip the clutch and cause damage.
If I use auto-clutch on my TX it feels like i’m cheating 
I use Controller 10. Clutch is up on the right thumb stick and then ebrake is down. Its a realllyy awesome setting once you get used to it. Almost just like driving a manual trans.
I set my Right Analog stick to be - Push Up for Shift Up/ Push Down for Shift down … along with auto clutch and I LOVE IT.
