The MCI MC9's use the Allison MT740 series of transmissions which are 4 speed automatics. They shift much more smoothly in the MCI MC9, 9A, and 9B cruisers in NJ and charter systems that have older MC9's and 96 and 102 series coahes. The newer D series MCI use the Allison world series transmissions. The B-500 and 500R 6 speed automatics are used in the 102D3 and DL3's as well as the Dina's and Renissance E series coach. The first Orion V's that we are operating here in NYC use the 6V-92TA coupled to a MT740 4 speed automatic which is very jerky and then after that we purchased Orion V's with Series 50's coupled to Allison B400 5 speed automatics which are a much smoother combination. The garbage trucks here in NYC use the same set up as the 1993 orions with the 6V-92TA/MT740 combo. After a few years the trucks now have Cummins C8.3 and M11 turbos.
Peace
DaShawn
