  I take 2838M to school every day, and have realised that the Voith gearbox used on this bus is different from the rest of the DM3500 Mark 4s. When deccelerating, the gear change is more like the Voith 4-Speed rather than the D863.3. Also, the buttons that have D,N,R on it to change gear is similar to the ZF and earlier Voith gearbox buttons. DM3500 Mark 4s have Black "gear buttons". 2838M has Red "R" button and White "D" and "N" buttons. does it have a different gerbox? Why?

  I think the gear selector panel wasn't changed.
