#Sequential manual transmission rotator manuals#

I work on Class 8 tractors as my day job and I can 100% assure you that the majority of trucks run Eaton 10s.

#Sequential manual transmission rotator manuals#

The automated manuals aren't even a 51% majority. Currently I'm driving a Freightliner Argosy and it's got a Mack EA9 V8 of 620HP and 3200nm, which is a bit weaker than I'd like but still gets the job done well enough that I haven't actually touched it.Īm I the only one who finds sequential shift to be such a pain in the rear that they go out of their way to edit game files just to make the truck driveable? The automatic transmission logic in ETS and ATS wears pants as hats, and of course, I can't exactly go use an H-gate shifter on a gamepad.Īnything more than about 6 speeds is an automated manual trans so it has to fiddle around. The norm for my personal rig is around 600HP and 4200nm of torque, which will pull any load in the game with grace and ease(Yes, even heavy haul stuff, that's a stupidly insane amount of torque and I have pulled 120,000lb+ loads on my KrAZ 260 with such an engine in the nose) when mated to a five or six speed transmission. That, in turn, leads me towards putting exceptionally potent, borderline unrealistically powerful, engines in my trucks. As such I find myself using five or six speed transmissions, often having to make them myself as such boxes are exceedingly rare in trucks of this type.

The game's.less than responsive to shift commands and often four or five rapid taps to the downshift button(as one might do if they have to suddenly brake for a traffic incident) just won't register, or register as a single tap, leaving you stuck in a high gear that just won't work at low speed. I play with a gamepad using sequential manual and I find any transmission above six speeds to be an absolute pain in the cunninglinguals to work with.
