Reaper42 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Been trying both 18 speed and 13 speed shifters. Can figure out which is better or easier. What is better? 13 speed or 18 speed or any others and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caff!!! Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 The 18 speed has 5 additional lower gears (below ~30-40 MPH) and longer final ratio, if you play with a sequential manual a 13 speed is more practical vs an 18 for going through gears while an 18 has additional engine control at lower speeds, suitable for heavy cargo in hilly areas. The 10 speed (non-allison,) although more useful for basic long range hauling, has a short final ratio, esp outside California.

ShadowWolf2k7 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 i personally prefer the 18 speed, for me it is faster shifting and you can skip gears from gear 2nd gear to 14th gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I personally like 18 speed. Just because of faster shifting, And realism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDXX_ Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 All depends on the loads I like to haul, and or if I'm convoying with other players. When convoying I usually run a 13 speed for the faster acceleration. For hauling weight I always use the Eaton 18. The Eaton 18 is also really fun to shift when your running a simu-shifter.

Chev Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I ran with both before. Personally, I prefer the 18 speed to haul loads with, especially when climbing hills with a heavy load. I’d use whichever you like more and recommend trying them both out by hauling some loads. Have a question? Feel free to message me.

Callum. Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I run a 6 speed and I find it fine, but I have heard a lot of positive comments with an 18 speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneC0ld Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I use an H-shifter, so this works well for me. I tend to use 18-speed transmissions. However, most of the time, I treat it like a 13-speed transmission. I only actually split-shift the lower range when vehicle weight and road grades require it. This strategy may not work as well for players that use sequential shifting, however... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezz Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I use a H-shifter but I prefer the 18 gear transmission, more room to play with I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Night Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 18 speed for me, more scope for cargo as you will struggle with heavy weights with fewer gears. I've also set "g_Hshifter_synchronized" to 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuly Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Neither. I go for 6 speed due to my H-shifter only having 6 gears. It's easier for me to just set it that way. Don't judge me lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
