I have a question about our trans, kinda unrelated but.
Our trans selector has 5 marked forward gears yet I can feel, without a doubt, 5 distinct shifts giving it 6 forward speeds. Would someone care to shed a little light.
Also while at TGO talking with Bill he mentioned that he cruises at 50something and I asked him if that speed kept him from high gear because our bus won't even shift into final gear till 60 minimum. His responce was no, it is in final gear at 50something?
One more note for anyone trying to answer. There is a wide range from 1st to 2nd and 5th to 6th but 3rd and 4th have short close ratios. Also the build sheet shows the rear end has a 3.32 ratio, or is it 3.23.
Its an older bus and really can't say if its the original trans or not. Are there defining visual charicteristics between the 2?
