@@bgasales That sound when you release it you can practically punch it with your fist and when it gets applied just oh god that sound is amazing. The visions have a different sound and it’s not the same.
@@bgasales Well, I mean the transmission is audible in the sense that because this bus is gas powered, the engine doesn't drown out the noise the transmission makes. It's amazing they were still making new gas powered school buses in the late '90s.
I thought it was because TX is the only state where a bus can have multiple colored seat covers, 3 different seat back heights, and 4 different seat frames, all in one bus. It is really hard to find a good TX bus. The best I can do is find one that is rare and something someone would like to convert to a tiny house or RV. Trying to get a TX bus to be legal to carry children any other state is not logical. They cobble things way too much in TX. This one came out of San Antonio. It ran and drove nice. It was never going to be able to carry children in any state other than TX, though. It is a camper, today... and a good running/driving bus, still to this day. I wish I could find a bunch more gasoline powered buses!!! Texas rust-free buses are nice, but finding a school that properly maintains their buses is really difficult. I don't know how they get their kids to school in TX. So many JUNK buses that couldn't run in any other state....
That Parking Brake brings back memories of 2006 when I rode a Bluebird GMC with a Cat 3126
What is it about this parking brake that makes it memorable?

Love the old buses
Me, too
I am sure the transmission on this bus is very audible when it's driving down the street.
1st to second gear shift was able to be heard. The others were not very noticeable. I love driving these buses! They are so quiet!!!
