when i worked for a charter campany, we had a fleet of ex greyhound mc 9.. #576 #640,691,613.733 #768 had a side mounted wheelchair lift.. all had 871 with ht 740 allison transmissions.. we were trained to shift these transmissions manually start in 2 and up shift and down shift manually .. great busses...

The 5-speed is the Fuller T-11605D.

I assume the 5-speed manuals to be Fuller T-11605D units, as it is the standard manual transmission as depicted in official MCI literature for the MC-9 and the A series.

@ClassicTVMan81 - Negative. Greyhound Canada's 96-A3's and 102-A3's were 5 speed manuals. Not sure what make though. The first 7 speeds for Greyhound Canada were the 1989 MCI 102-C3's.
i rode on this bus in oct 99 from kelowna b.c. to kamloops. at the time it had the sunrype juice wrap .. and was standard transmission...

@busfanjim - Yep! And it would have also still had the 6V92TA engine at the time too.

@luvdat8v71 - Sure except that the 7 speed transmission was swapped out because it needed to be replaced.
