Me sewege truck wont shift into gear

[kayano ♡]

I have aLogitech DFGT wheel and a Thrustmaster TH8A shifter, in the van or the satsuma my Shifter works just fine, on the bike it doesn't seem to work but the built in sequential shifter on my wheel works, but in the sewage truck neither work, and i can't get it into gear at all. I can't seem to find anyone else having this issue, ive restarted the game multiple times, and nothing works.

You have to sync your rpm with shifting

[karik_FIN_134]

Have revs above 1000?rpm but less than 2000rpm to get gear in.

for first gear you need to be at idle

Thanks, that worked lol

Sorry for the necro-bump; figured better to post here than start a new thread.

I was having one hell of a time with this the other night. I understand rev-matching and all, but it seemed wayyyyy too hit or miss. Low range seemed to work better than high. Needless to say, I was getting a bit frustrated.

What kills me is that, even with an H-shifter, when I downshift from say 5th to first (for example if I stall out and just go from 5 to 1) the truck automatically goes through every gear down until it hits 1.

That, and I used the Ferndale(sp?) for the first time with my steering wheel setup. I was fatigued in the red. Literally closing my eyes, about to die. Struggled with trying to get the damn thing in Reverse. Only took me about 10 mins to realize you need to be stepping on the brake, and it needs to be FULLY pressed haha. Not sure how I made it home while I was passing out on the drive.

Seems to be an issue with your shifter, I use a Logitech Driving Force shifter and it works normally, goes from 5th right into 1st without any gears in between.

Hmm. I’m using the same shifter. I’ll see if I can get a video up later.

I literally have to wait while it shifts through each gear before it will go into first again. It doesn’t show the gears as it does it, you can just hear it along with the air release. Kind of a pain.

Didn’t capture a video but still struggled with it again last night. I think my main issue is, I’m shifting too late (letting RPMs get too high). Still gets very funky though, usually when going from 1st to 2nd. If I can’t make 2nd, I’ll drop back down to N and I hear the air (brakes or blow off?!?) continuously making its noise until it settles and let’s me drop into 1st again. Once I get going it seems to get easier. It’s most likely just that I need practice.

I noticed that double clutching actually works really well, I use it. If you don't know what it is, it is a timing technique, push the clutch in, bring it from 1st to neutral, then quickly release and push it back in before going to 2nd, and when down shifting, just give it a bit of revs
