Please note that this isn't a guide on how to earn the achievement but how to possibly fix it if you have already unlocked for it to not sync up to Xbox.com and correctly stick on your gamertag.
This should apply to following well known glitched achievements, I imagine it'd work for others as well if you've been unfortunate:
Mix It Up!
The Mix It Up! achievement in DiRT 2 (PC) worth 49 pointsPlay in every discipline over Games for Windows - LIVE (Pro Tour or Jam Session).
With Great Honour
The With Great Honor achievement in DiRT 2 (PC) worth 47 pointsAchieve a 'Cautious' impact rating in Multiplayer races (Pro Tour or Jam Session).
Five Of Your Best
The fix consists of rebuilding your Games for Windows Live profile and is simple to do.
What you'll need to do is go to the relevant folder in Windows for where this data is stored.
For Windows 7 / Vista it'll look like this:
C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft
For XP it'll look like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Application Data\Local\Microsoft
You should see two folders in here named "GFWLive" and "XLive". All you need to do is rename them, do not delete them.
A safe way of renaming them, as well as reminding yourself where they are if you need to restore them as backups is to rename them as such:
"OLD_GFWLive"
"OLD_XLive"
Simply put "OLD_" at the start of the name.
When you boot up the game, you'll need to manually sign in with your gamertag, what'll happen at this point is a complete download of your tag and its associated data as if you're redeeming it from scratch.
This will also create new "GFWLive" and "XLive" folders.
Once it has downloaded, you can try simply winning a race in single player. Once that's finished, the achievement should pop but this time should sync up to Xbox.com and therefore your gamertag!
Confirm this by waiting a couple of minutes then checking online.
Once confirmed you can do pretty much whatever you want with the backup folders, they're safe to delete at this point as you'll have fresh and more likely fully functional copies of the profile in the newly created folders. |

If like me, the 3 broken achievements were the last you need but would not update on xbox.com. This is what worked for me.
Go read the below forum post and follow the advise of the user: AggaUgga. (The only file you should need to replace is - PGRRLTKJNZ)
http://community.codemasters.com/forum/dirt-2-tech-support-1317/400612-autoload-failed-save-data-corrupt-3.html#post5932716
Next make sure you have already completed the requirements for the remaining broken achievements you need in game.
Now delete your GfWL profile from your system (If your not sure how follow the method described by Lolatron above)
Now with your fresh profile, play any single player race and the achievement should pop again and sync. to xbox.com
I previously tried every other possible combination to get the achievements to stick but after numerous attempts of deleting savegames and profiles and countless races, this was the process that stuck for me, and it updated on xbox.com straight away.
I can only hope this will help anyone else that is waiting for a permanent fix. |

Race without touching cars online (Pro Tour or Jam Session). Your icon next to your name should become green in the lobby. I think it's a cumulative counter, you won't gain it the first race you do without touching anyone, you have to drive cleanly multiple races, and you can still hit sometimes a car, as long as you don't do it too much or on purpose.
Remember to use your brake when you're about to ram into someone :)
I won it in a Jam Session, Domination. |

This achievement is buggy!
At least, it is on the PC version anyway. Don't know about the 360 version.
When you unlock this achievement, it will *not* sync to xbox.com *unless* you unlock *two* other non-bugged achievements in the same session, so make sure you have some two other easy achievements locked if you intend to unlock this one.
If, like me, you have unlocked all other achievements (or all other achievements bar one), then this achievement is unattainable until a patch is released.
UPDATE:
There is a solution! I now have 100% in this game (after over 2 years!) which is frankly amazing. Mega props to Lolatron for his solution and restoring my faith in humanity (for a while).
This also applies to:
The Mix It Up! achievement in DiRT 2 (PC) worth 49 pointsPlay in every discipline over Games for Windows - LIVE (Pro Tour or Jam Session).

Please refur to Syl SGM's solution for details on how to get your impact rating. |

| I did it! As well the other two bugged achievements. Ok, basically my solution was follow what the other guys said: Get the achievement, and get two other non bugged achievements afterwards. First i got With Great Honor and then two more achievements, and then Mix It Up! with another normal one, and afterwards i got Five Of Your Best. At first, i only got With Great Honor and the other two normal achievements on my Live page, but then i went to the Dirt Tour (i havent done any race on it, besides the first one) and got Keep It Clean, and got 4 achievents in a row, the two last bugged ones, and the one i got after Mix It Up! (Jet Setter). Now all of them are on my live account. So, you must get the achievements, unlock them in game, and get normal achievements afterwards. I dont know if there's a proper order (like you can see in what i've done), but basically: one bugged, two non bugged, or even all of them in a row, if you can get them, but Mix It Up can only be finished on a Jam Session. So i recommend trying to do With Great Honor and Mix it Up first, and then the last one. |

This is how I got 'With Great Honor':
-note: people with 'green impact ratings' usually are at the front or back of the pack.
- Let everyone else ahead of you and drive like a Sunday driver. That way you'll finish your races with minimal impacts. Play racetypes like 'rally' and 'last man standing' where others will not be bumping into you, this will make it easier. If you're going to 'pull over', make sure there aren't cars about to ram into you. Move to the side when its safe to do so.
- This achievement is broken and I hope this works for you. I've searched the internet and the best answer I have is to have another achievement unlocked at the same time 'with great honor' is in the 'in game client'. And it could potentially unlock properly.
- tip: get 'with great honor', 'mix it up', and '5 of your best' as early as possible in the achievements you get. '5 of your best' is difficult, just make sure it isn't the last achievement you get.
- If it doesn't work for you then I'd say keep playing, the game thinks you've unlocked it so it will either sit there or continue to unlock until you get it. don't sweat it! its broken, and lots of people have complained so Codemasters and Microsoft should be aware. I hope there is a patch. |
