Another MCI MC9 Bus Driving Video 10/17/20

You asked for longer driving videos, and here it is! Another MCI MC9 Bus Driving video with multiple camera angles. The bus is a 1982 MC9 with Manual 5-Speed Transmission. Converted from a 49 Seat Passenger Coach to a Tour Bus.

COOL VIDEO!

Excuse me however...drags those gears a bit longer

The brake valve discharge always had that distinctive sound without exception. Couldn't see the shift pattern plate on the dash. What's the engine and transmission in your MC-9?

[@tipsandtrips7519]

Gotta love that sound, for real for real. If a “9” doesn’t have it I feel cheated. LOL!

[@RipRoaringGarage]

I know. I love that sound. I miss hearing it. One day before I die I will have an MC9...

[@RipRoaringGarage]

@@tipsandtrips7519 Right? I saw some that had some other plumbing installed and that sound wasnt there anymore...MC9? More like MCcrime (I know, really terrible joke)

5 speed ?

Now by looking at the shift lever, some of these had this shape but the bend in the shift tube was routed to face the door. Mid-American Coaches owned a fleet of these. I wonder if these were the last buses with the manual transmissions MCI built or was it the MC10 being the last ones with the manual transmission.

Cool but definitely not the OEM shifter handle.

[@Chesterbarnes1]

George you have mastered the clutch, and gear change until it's smooth. Is this beautiful coach owned by you? Please do more videos.

[@MonsterMidi]

Great bus, great video, great editing...💯💯💯

[@SteveCarras]

I wanted a longer driving video,.

[@RipRoaringGarage]

We gotta do a colab man. Both our buses side by side and do a reaction to each of our buses (although I drove MC9 for years)

[@tobyschwartzman4995]

I’m also curious what engine and transmission you have. I only caught one trip in an MC9, but it had suffered the unholy conversion to a 6V92 with an HT-740, so I didn’t get the full experience like you present here.

[@thud9797]

Definitely is the 5-speed manual and sounds like the 8V71.
