Added the 18-speed to the Anthem (forgot I added the 600hp MP11 to it).

Seniors moment :steamfacepalm:

For those wishing to use a manual transmission, I have added the Eaton 13 and 18 speed manual transmissions.

Please note: The Anthem has the 13-speed only, the Pinnacle has both.

Cheers Bruce...I use his mod religously ... Bruce as a traditional driver there is nothing more frustrating than a transmission that second guesses itself on a short hill lol ... the Trident and even the 2018 Volvo gets set back into manual and driven at a few places here in Brisvegas Good to see you still at it, so many of the community are slowly disappearing cheers mate Rusty

All the reviews I've read about the mDrive of late say they are pretty good now (same as the Volvo iShift).

BTW, have you tried LoaderSaints Real Eaton Transmission mod? He's just updated it.

yeah the past 2018/19 manuals were opted to up to 600hp....as per the last of the earlier cab prior to the newer configuration and layout of the Anthem cab.... those AMTs are a real dogs breakfast lol

Ok. Downloaded Galimim's pack and he has included 'suitable_for' and 'conflict_with' in his transmission files, which my engines aren't included (obviously), hence the conflict.

The only way it will work is if Galimim ADDS my engine defs to the transmissions.

Just a little side note, Mack Australia no longer offer a manual transmission as an option anymore … it's all mDrive now (and Allison auto's on the smaller Cummins ISL).

Hey guys, Just a heads up. I just realised I've got the wrong specs for the MP11 700 engine ... it should be 780hp - 3800Nm. In the next day or so I'll update it (don't worry if you're using it as I'll just update the 'internals' of the def file). There will also be a small torque increase in the MP8 535 (2630Nm). I'll also be adding the new MP8HE which is a 500hp - 2800NM compound-turbo engine to both models.

@R&J Trucking - would it help if I rename the def files for the mDrives to stop the conflict?

Anyone wishing to use these Engines , found that it clashes with Galimim's Mack Drivetrain Revision ( his Eaton transmission clash mainly)...so if you want to run a 18spd Manual use Fury's transmissions..... Keep on Truckin' and keep the shiney side up...Rusty
R&J TRUCKING .CO#23 25 Oct, 2024 @ 10:43pm 
Machinomancer...more like a slightly longer bonnetted Trident or a square bonneted Granite ....the Pinnacle cab sits lower than the Superliner and our Trident...the Cabs of The Mack New Breed are all exactly the same from Granite, replaced by the Anthem, through to the Titan. The Aussie Trident , Superliner and Titan are mounted higher on the chassis to allow for airflow and our conditions as well as the use of larger capicity engines , radiator and transmission options . The Amercian designed vehicles are more for the linehaul / medium market in the states...
Machinomancer 25 Oct, 2024 @ 10:14pm 
Whats the Australian variant of the Pinnicle? I reckon it looks like a Superliner.
Bruce C  [author] 25 Oct, 2024 @ 6:16pm 
You're welcome 👍. Should satisfy the needs 😁
R&J TRUCKING .CO#23 25 Oct, 2024 @ 5:49pm 
Cheers Bruce....Rusty

Please note: If you are still using my previous MP8/MP10 mod, please update to this one as I will be deleting the older mods in the near future.
