How To | Add Transmissions! | BASIC Info | American Truck Simulator

In this video we go over what a "Truck DEF" is and how I personally add new things such as transmission's, and sounds to my trucks here in American Truck Simulator. Be on the lookout in the coming days as I will go over the basics of the sounds mods as well. It is very similar if not exact to the way you get the transmission's however there are few minor differences we will go over!
Any questions let me know down below and I'll do my best to help!

[@SRCrixis66]

❤great video ❤ as always

[@raindrops7188]

hey mike. i would luv to see a engine open def for this truck. luv this video. Followed your step and it worked perfectly. Thank u. You made it easy and simple to follow.

[@MikePettGaming]

Sounds are next. Basically almost the same procedure. But we’ll go into it!

[@b9bot148]

Will watch this on my lunch hour.

[@MikePettGaming]

Shot you a DM on discord buddy!

[@b9bot148]

@@MikePettGaming okay I will look at it when I get home 9:30pm pacific time.

[@DarthCrumbie]

Hey Mike, I'm a new IRL trucker up in Canada. What are the chances you could do a video explaining the different engines and transmissions and why you'd pick certain ones in particular situations?

[@MikePettGaming]

I like that idea!

[@kevinantunez275]

How do I make the truck show the L and H in sequential gears? Because in some truck mods, it goes 1 through 10, 13, 18 and the other truck mods, it goes from L to 8H

[@evannibert7]

do you have any info on 12 , 9, and 16 speed. i need a 9 speed with a 4/4 with a lo gear.

[@redrebel__]

im curious how this works. i've got the haterbilt that i found from your videos and i don't see a way to get the name, he has a open def file but its to add to the mod folder and you can't read it.

[@primakalexander]

Thnx a lot for this video!!! I'm waiting video about sound mod - use Jon Ruda's Glider 389 and there is no gears shift sound... Wanna fix it!

[@MikePettGaming]

Well test his on the sound video!

[@flix8743]

Is this possible on a steam workshop mod? And how do I find the the truck def name if it is a scs file?

[@mssoares2882]

Hello, always well explained, do you have the link to the video about sounds?

[@MikePettGaming]

That’s coming!

[@itsme2369]

So I can add a slammed chassis and stacks etc like this too? Or is this just for sound and transmissions? Thanks for this video earned a new sub.

[@MikePettGaming]

That would be through a program like Blender or ZModeler. Just sounds and skins and stuff like that done through the open def

[@freebeardgaming]

Hey Mike, great video! More advanced question: is it possible to edit any of the transmissions in that come with the CAST mod? Or add to them? I was looking to add an 8LL or 9ALL (I’ve created the transmissions and gearbox files already), but right now they’re specific to each truck, and I want to be able to move them to other trucks, much like the CAST mod works (by simply adding the truck name). Or will adding /editing transmission available in the CAST nod cause it to break? Id also like to be able to share the transmissions / gearboxes I create with others. More complex than this video was intended for, I know, but not too many videos out there on more advanced transmission stuff. Thanks!

[@MikePettGaming]

8LL would be nice!

[@freebeardgaming]

@@MikePettGaming I just ended up creating a gearbox layout file, so I pick “8LL” from the drop-down in the game settings. So the game knows my shift pattern. Then I use an existing transmission from the CAST mod. Works perfect, and I get to shift it like the real transmission. Thanks for your video Mike!

[@GT_RV6]

I’ve been looking for 389’s and was wondering which was better, the rollin 389 or pizzster?

[@MikePettGaming]

Both are amazing. Pizzsters bang for the buck is great, however if you could swing both in time. Both are highly recommended!

[@blindpains8120]

My game keeps won’t load in with the cast addon can you help me out Mike

[@blindpains8120]

I’m trying to do the jon ruda w900 and I’m pretty sure the name for it is kw.900jl but if I’m wrong could you correct me

[@THECASUALGAMER69]

mike what about the engines

[@MikePettGaming]

Same procedure. But next video will be that.
