Actually, according to what I found, there is torque multiplication with the TRC in real life, ratio is supposed to be 1.58

Do you have a source. I have that number for ZF boxes that use torque converter

goddamn it, I mixed it up with the ZF TraXon

Re: [1.28] Mercedes-Benz Drivetrain Revision
I haven't found any data on VOITH torque converter multiplication. I guess it can be specified to some degree?

Re: [1.28] Mercedes-Benz Drivetrain Revision
The PDF linked from this page https://voith.com/corp-en/braking-syste ... rucks.html called "Transmitting power efficiently | Turbo Retarder Clutch VIAB" does not talk about any kind of torque multiplication at all. (but it doesn't share any technical data, so ...)

So we need someone to either annoy Voith or Mercedes-Benz in releasing the data

Ok, I'm having a headache trying to use this mod with Shumi MP4 and Kriech OM471 - 473 engine sound, I just don't get the sound from Kriech in my truck, do you guys know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
Re: [1.28] Mercedes-Benz Drivetrain Revision
Does anyone know which transmission should be used with the new actros (2019) ? I thought they only have 3 steps motor brakes.
Re: [1.28] Mercedes-Benz Drivetrain Revision
You could try the online configurator on the toc.mercedes-benz-trucks.com website
When configuring an Actros truck with the 510HP OM471 Gen 3 Engine, it offers the G280-16 (11.7-0.69), G281-12 (14.93-1.0) and the G330-12 (11.63-0,77) transmissions plus various differential ratios (2.278, 2.412, 2.533, 2.733, 2.929, 3.154, 3.714, 4.143, 4.333, 4.571, 4.833).
There are two versions of the engine brake: "standard" with three steps, up to 375kw with OM471@2300rpm, Step 1 on 3 cylinders, steps 2+3 on all 6 cylinders.
and "High performance engine brake" based on "Jake Brake" with OM471 Gen3 up to 425kw @2300rpm, again with 3 steps.
Edit/Update: The optional retarder has 5 steps (20,40,60,80,100%) and combines engine brake and retarder.
So I assume: Just engine brake: 3 steps, when you combine retarder and engine brake, you get 5 steps.
Hope this helps.

@galimim, @rookie_one I did another google round on the Turbo Retarder Clutch.
This article: https://www.trucksales.com.au/editorial ... ed-138974/ :
-> Would this imply a stall_torque_ratio of 1.0?
This article: https://www.trucksales.com.au/editorial ... ed-138974/ :
(underlining added)The turbo retarder clutch has full utilisation of engine power up to the vehicle traction limit, and there is no additional load on the powertrain since there is no increase of the engine's high torque through the converter. Consequently, this means load-free engine acceleration through the defined engine rev range, with torque then maintained at a constant level.
