Great video! I love the sound of that transmission. I feel like it has been around for a while. Do you know of other buses that have had it (or something similar)? Some of the Helsinki buses in the 1990s seemed to make similar noises.

TDF 314 has similar sound. It's nowadays a charter bus in Shuttlebus. Korsisaari 54 has similar sound and it was still in use last week, but it is very quiet like most transmissions.

@@kaakkuritransit Aha. And the TDF 314 is an older (version of this?) transmission?

@@kaakkuritransit Sounds like (some of) the transmissions are called ZF Ecomat: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6C1fXp6iKp2msk en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZF_Ecomat#1st_generation_%E2%80%94_Ecomat_(1980-2002)

It's the same version, but they have individual differences.
