1994 Blue Bird GMC School Bus

[634524]

What engine does this have?



[MrWill1985]

Is this school bus still owned by the original system/company or did you buy it from the previous owner?

[hisbaby1979]

i have a 94 gmc bluebird runs great with a wheelchair lift. how do i find the value of it?

[mifan93]

all 21st cuentry school busses are automatic :(

i wish they used manuals

[johnblessing]

How many speeds is it

[DJBiv788]

@johnblessing Most manual buses are five-speeds. Now almost all districts have moved to 4, 5, or 6-speed automatics.

[bobcats330]

most are autos, people dont know how to or like driving manual. sounds like it may have intl t444 v-8 diesel engine.

The old man tranny seem to have more personality though when i was in school my bus driver said a real school bus was one with man. most of the busses i rode in school were 5 speed with split. had lot of Blue bird and Thomas S1700 and S1800s then went to the Navistar 3800 DT/466 engines

[jminnesota]

I am a fan of the older manual trans busses. Back then you could choose Auto or Man. While Auto is great, i am a fan of the Man Trans. I know most bus drivers today want Auto so pretty much all school bus that are built today are Auto trans. I love the sound of this bus when it shifts gears you can here the engine.

[arcofadiver1]

Are there any companies at all that still produce manual tranny school buses??

[jminnesota]

I think all are auto now i might be wrong but most new ones i see on road today are auto.

[cocacolasexyboy]

@arcofadiver1 IC Will soon be making manual or automatic trans But In a few years from noww

[gajda1984]

@arcofadiver1 I doubt it. Most buses, school and city, garbage trucks, recycle trucks are all autos because of the stop and go.

[buslover333]

@arcofadiver1 Yes. The C2 was spected to be a stick shift. The old Thomas FS-65s were spected and some came with manual tranies.

[schindlerman96]

@buslover333 I didnt know that all of my districts C2's have push button transmissions with the exception of the one C2 thats a hybrid it has a regular automatic shifter

[aeastman16]

@arcofadiver1 IC has that option. Not sure about Thomas

[schindlerman96]

@arcofadiver1 I would think you could specially request it if you wanted its like a new IC or Thomas some districts get them new with a regular automatic shifter then my district gets a new bus most of the time its a new C2 they get them with a push button transmission

[MrWill1985]

@arcofadiver1 I think now days all newer school buses are automatics. I dont konw when the last year manual's were still manufactured on new buses but I know many school bus drivers were glad when they became standard in automatic since shifting is a pain in the butt for many.

[matt1153]

You can get a manual transmission in a saf-t-liner c2

[cocacolasexyboy]

Im not really sure arcofadiver but is that your bus :P ?? my father owns 13 manual corbeils 1999 to 2003 he owns 6 thomas manuals 2000 to 2002 and 2 manual bluebirds both 2000 and it kinda sucks the new Ic international buses no offense but we have hade no choice to buy them cause corbeil sold out to them ic's suck we have hade so many problems we hade to change the brian on 12 buses swich the electronicals on 7 and flip the motor on 5 its like not reliable at all these buses

[cocacolasexyboy]

[busman99a]

[cocacolasexyboy]

IS it double clutch ?

[arcofadiver1]

No.

[gajda1984]

@cocacolasexyboy Double clutches haven't been used in like 40 years.

[sneezabonk]

@gajda1984 Some big rigs still use them

[1963yusuf]

@cocacolasexyboy no its not

[matts4290]

Is that hammer down through the gears?

[arcofadiver1]

What do you mean?

[matts4290]

Are you holding the throttle all the way to the floor?

[arcofadiver1]

I am not holding the gas all the way to the floor, no.

[zillatank]
