I miss that engine sound. Reminds me when I was on the school bus when I was a kid.

[@anthonyholmes195]

I rode an old school bus,a 1979 Ward Chevy,366,Allison from the academy to the prison to search the prison,the bus went around a sharp curve,went to 2nd,then 3rd,then back down to 2nd.

[@Lennox1492]

I remember riding blue bird bus 37 in 4th grade and it sounded like this one. Lol I always felt it was quicker than the other busses cause it had that turbo sound

[@danielhalleejr6644]

I always loved the sound of the transmission in those automatics

[@kwb200]

Cant beat the sound of a GM tall deck big block especially paired to a allison

[@anthonyholmes195]

Every gas bus in my district was hydraulic brakes,most diesel except for several were air brakes

[@darnell899]

Smh. I miss, I miss, I miss the sound of these old school buses man, I swear. I wish I cud go back to the old days.

[@rhondasaunders2117]

Me too. I loved the sound of these buses back in school. The new buses the kids ride now doesn't sound like this.

[@darnell899]

@@rhondasaunders2117 U right, an I be hatin that. Last time I rode a school bus was back in 12th grade, but those buses was already retired before then. I graduated in 2006.

[@rhondasaunders2117]

@@darnell899 I graduated in 1992 and these buses were still on the road back then. They should really go back to these buses they sound so good.

[@darnell899]

@@rhondasaunders2117 They sure as hell do. I jus wasn't a fan of the ones wit the wheelchair lifts on em.

[@shanewatkins5322]

Is that old bus still around? Got to do some more videos with that. Love that old transmission taking out.

[@sonicgabe10]

I remember how I use to ride a Ford ward school bus and it sounded a little different when it is in second gear

[@busrailfan]

That sure brings back memories! I used to drive buses just like this one. That compressor is quite loud compared to normal for one of those though.

[@jesseterrell1415]

busrailfan he had a microphone mounted in the engine compartment to get better sound of the tranny. That’s why the compressor is loud in this video.

[@danprice2381]

Nice video. I liked the upshift from third to second gear at 6:04. I noticed that these bus transmissions are often sensitive at the lower speeds where it will occasionally jump from third back to second gear.

[@kaiyoshi2243]

Well, the microphone was right next to the air tank. The reverberated and amplified the sound of the compressor. I didn't think about loud that compressor would be at the tank. Standing inside or out, you can hardly hear it.

[@diyoverhauler5432]

I miss these buses
