  I not sure about that because I dont really take SBST buses too often (Cause here in WDL mostly SMRT buses)

  Volvo B10M MKIV (DM) -> Voith DIWA 381.4 4-speed
  Volvo B9TL -> Voith DIWA 864.3 4-speed
  MAN 18.240 HOCL-NL -> Voith DIWA 854.5 4-speed

  should be it.

  
  Nobody seems to know for sure if ALL the voith MKIVs are 4 speed. Best not to assume.

  And unless I'm mistaken, the SMRT 0405s are rated at 250hp while the older SBST ones are rated at 230hp.

  Its not a lock-up gear, its the lock-up CLUTCH.

  Its purpose is to cut the power loss of the torque converter to zero, by connecting the engine and the driving axle physically.

  I'm pissed off with people complaining to the press on the slightest thing about our public bus captains. I believe these people do not work in the frontline of the service industry before. If these people were working and someone complains to their boss for a small mistake, and also spread the news to everyone around him/her; let alone complain all the way to the press, how would they feel?

  Why cant these people just feedback to the relevant public bus operators through website/ email instead of complaining at the slightest thing to the press? And the press also another kind; I have seen lots of stupid complaints and feedbacks being published. Even so, I wonder how come no reader shoot back at them and the press then publish their replies?

  If what you see that made it through the press already makes your blood boil, you will get heart attack when you see what PTOs actually receive directly from the public...

  I agree, many OCs are also starting to vibrating, especially the batch 1s.

  I think it is Gemilang's problem.

  Every bus will become like that after months/years.
