    I grew up riding these, although our buses had automatics, and I loved that sound, nothing like it

      It sounds kind of like the Muncie M22 Rock Crusher nicknamed transmissions that some GM cars had in the 70s.

    That sound of Clark engine takes me back to elementary school days we had a similar school bus sound just like that I believe it was number 732-33 Ford school bus if I remember.

      Yeah, I've been looking for a video with a bus which sounds like that for years. I'm in Southern Ontario and I hadn't heard that classic first-gear whine since about 1993. I wish I could hear it in third gear or faster, so I can reremember what it sounded like. I'm also blind and I have always tried to pay attention to things like this.

    It reminds me of junior high and high school. The bus is the same color and has the same sound, with tall green seats.

    This I'm guessing is a manual transmission.

    • @BlindGordie
      @BlindGordie 2 роки тому +4

      I believe so, because I recognize the sound that I used to hear on these buses in Toronto and other parts of Ontario in the 70s and 80s. I forget what this bus probably sounded like in third gear and I had forgotten, how it sounded in second.

    As somebody who is blind, I'm curious what size of bus it is. Is it a typical type C school bus, or is it one of those 12 Cedar multifunction activity buses, like some schools and summer camps head, back in the day? I live in the GTA and in the 70s and 80s, the CNIB in Toronto had a bus with the same transmission, as well as the lake Joe CNIB camp, before it was either retired or died around 1983.
