When we still had our 4106 I gave a lot of thought to changing to an automatic. Problem with the V730 is loss of mpg to the tune of 1-2 miles per gallon. Finally decided on the VS-6 (not as the overdrive is .8:1 or gives slightly lower rpms at a given speed. The .72 is usable but will down shift to often. The .6 is really only good for down hill driving.The VS-6 will handle either the 8V71 or V92 with no problems.BTW I never did anything. Sold the bus.

Sold the bus.The VS2-6 is not built for the 8V71 or the V92 series.It's max input torque and horse power are the same as the VH= 198 HP and 600Ft Lbs torque @ 2100 RPMThe VS2-8 is rated at 259HP and 750Ft LbsTorque at 2100RPM.By the way, that is HP at the flywheel after all other loads have been deducted.Dallas
