It'd be fine with a manual. I bet it wasn't offered with a CVT!

I just drove the car again. And before I started it, I opened the main fuse panel under the hood to see if there was something I could disable...

The only thing that looked promising was a fuse called "MG Clutch". I thought... "Motor/Generator clutch???" This could be fantastic! I pulled it.

Then I remembered the MG is not clutched in this version of IMA. (It is in the latest version, but not back in 2009).

I have no idea what MG Clutch means in this car.
