I ride 9601 every week and I hate that bus! There is an exhaust leak that is very loud under full throttle. It has been like this for months. The hissing, coupled with a cooling fan that runs constantly (these buses have fan clutches) makes the bus very loud during normal acceleration. When will this problem be fixed? Also, this bus has a very annoying 2-3 upshift, like a gear crunch. 9630 had the same problem, however, she had her transmission replaced. The new transmission shifts at a higher rpm than the old one, meaning that she really takes off from a stoplight. Sister 9653, an old friend from my days in Medford, also had her Allison replaced, but this was because of an overheating problem. She performs as well as 9630.
