Turbo Diesel V8 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Hello, I'd like to know your opinion about which one gearbox is better. I've seen some comprasing videos but I would like to know the opinions of players who drive longer time on a 6 or 12 speed gearbox. Main questions: Which one is better for longer runs? Which one is better for shorter journeys with multiple stops? Which one is better for max speed? Which one is better for driving in rain? thanks for all answers Kind Regards, Turbo Diesel V8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatSpeed Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Hi! I'd prefer 6 gear. It looks like more easy and comfortable to me. -Which one is better for longer runs? -Which one is better for shorter journeys with multiple stops? -Which one is better for max speed? -Which one is better for driving in rain? I can't decide on the last question but, In all of these situations, I prefer 6 gear. Because you shift less. So it's more comfortable. Also speed limit is 110 km/h on TruckersMP servers. So I don't think gearbox' affects max speed. Languages: TR / EN -> Rules | Feedback | Report System | Ban Appeal <- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P h o e n i x Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Which one is better for longer runs? 12 speed is usually better for long distance because you can get a gearbox with lower RPM in 12th gear than you could get in 6th gear, which means you can save fuel and go a longer distance without refueling Which one is better for shorter journeys with multiple stops? Either 12 or 6 speed work well for short journeys with lots of stops, but if its a lot of traffic then the 6 speed is probably better if you aren't doing heavy loads because of the quicker initial acceleration Which one is better for max speed? 12 speeds in ETS2 theoretically have the highest top speed, but TMP is limited to 110kmh anyways Which one is better for driving in rain? There won't be a difference in rain, especially not in ETS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 -Which one is better for longer runs?; If you do 12 gear, you will accelerate more slowly, but your speed will increase to maximum. -Which one is better for shorter journeys with multiple stops? If you are in a long traffic, you should select 6 gear so that you can accelerate rapidly. -Which one is better for max speed? 12 gear. -Which one is better for driving in rain? If you use 6 or 12 gear, you may find that it won't matter in rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE ROCK - PT Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 12 as nobody in real life use 6 gears for most of the normal day jobs , 6 gears are very rare in europe and they are only for trucks that deliver stuff in cities and they dont carry much wheight.

PallePuh Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 That's a great question, and you brought up great sub-questions. Sadly, I can't answer those because I've only really used 12 gear for normal driving. But I can give my experience. I prefer 12 gear because it gives you faster acceleration at the same time, it also works great for heavy haul. My friends and I actually tested it, in the arcade server on a highway. We all had Scania S 730s. Everyone manually shifting it. And the 12 gear was faster at accelerations than 6 gear. Now sure, it wasn't at all the most scientific test, and many factors could influence it. Also, I'm sure if you get used to 6 gear, then it might be as fast or faster than 12 gear, idk.

TS Horizon Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I prefer the 12 gear transmission. I think it is the better choice as it gives you a wider selection finding the right gear, especially on hills and with cargos of 20+ tons. While driving with 700+ HP it might not be that much of an matter but with "normal" engine powers the 12 gears should be the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Diesel V8 Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 Hello again Thanks for all answers, I personally use 12 speed transmission but I use 6 speed too, in drift truck hehe I see that most players prefer 12 speed and its better choice because usually its better for driving with a load Kind Regards, Turbo Diesel V8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayRay5 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 19 hours ago, Tilod said: Which one is better for longer runs? Depends on several factors such as height profile and differential setup and final drive ratio. In the end it doesn't really matter since most gearboxes run at the same rpm range in the highest gear and therefore provide no advantage/disadvantage to other gearboxes. 19 hours ago, Tilod said: Which one is better for shorter journeys with multiple stops? Depends on the type of the transmission (converter or classic). Converter transmissions are good for acceleration due to better and faster shift sequences, and lower time in fuel-cutoff, which you would do a lot in your scenario. Also less gear changes means less use on clutch/transmission. Therefore a 6 speed converter transmission is great for shorter journeys. (example ingame: Allison 4600 transmission) 19 hours ago, Tilod said: Which one is better for max speed? All trucks are limited to 90 - d'Oh! Otherwise - Depends on several factors such as differential setup and final drive ratio 19 hours ago, Tilod said: Which one is better for driving in rain? The gearbox that allows you to drive in a low rpm/torque band pretty much all the time which would be any 10+ gear gearbox in trucks (also accounting for the 10 speed gearbox of ATS) "Just because others break rules, does not grant you the permission to break the rules as well" Please drive respectful on the servers.

.Pedro. Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hello @Tilod -Which one is better for longer runs? -Which one is better for shorter journeys with multiple stops? -Which one is better for max speed? -Which one is better for driving in rain? -In the long run it would be good a 12 speed or 16 now depending on what you drive. -For short distances and stops I recommend the one with 6 steps. -The 6-speed one will help you leave faster and reach a maximum speed. -I don't know what to say here because you still don't see a difference.

Hans' Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 hello, I generally like to drive 12 gears for the sake of being realistic. There were times when I drove 6 gears, but I did not enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Judy. Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Definitely 6 for TruckersMP. As we all know, TruckersMP has speed limit so acceleration is important not top speed. I always prefer 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cute Fast Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 You should use 12 if you want realistic gameplay but if you want to get up and go quickly you should use 6. ---------- Languages/Diller: (primary) / Support - Appeal - TruckersMP Rules - Feedback - Report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
