and now with reference to your updates
Dennis Domino - i have never really heard of
this Maxwell gearbox. obviusoly using an unknown
brand of gearbox may have led to the Domino;'s demise.

The Otokar Sutlan
When was it production built? First built sorrry.
It should be 1990s.
And 143HP?! such a low PS rating . sounds like a 1970s
model whereby the Horsepower of the day was strong enough
to run the buses of the day.
However the design looks 1990s, if this is so, then 143 PS is
really gutless.
You should not compare this with a new purpose built
midibus. The configuration is something like a Mitsubishi
Canter / Isuzu NPR. In fact, there are quite a number of models
with similar configuration built and used in Turkey (I'll post
photos of them gradually).
You may also view my Otoyol Iveco M23 page. This is a bus
comparable to the Sultan.

high power coach with EURO IV MAN engine. I like. You will realise
i am a MAN fan.
So i assume the gearbiox is a ZF6HP604CN (auto) then?
They are not using You may refer to the brochure

Small problem with the egarbox. u mentioend it is a
Zf6HP550N.
Some corrections:
The last digit signifies which EURO. For EUOR 2 and 3 engines,
it is usually digit 2. For EURO IV and above, it is digit 4.
But i have indeed spotted spec sheets of this bus model with
Zf6HP554CN suggesting that the 55 band of gearboxes are more suited
for this bus model. What i can't udnerstand is because the PS
rating is around 290, shouldn't the ZF6HP59 series of egarbxoes be
sued...
may i suggest u jsut put ZF6HP55 band of gearbxoes.
I'll just remove the transmission row because when I wrote
this many years ago, I focused on the one for New Hong Kong Bus.
Since my photo gallery include buses with many different
specifications, I would not list all of them out.
Somewhat a little bit off topic.
As discussed with ZF employee, the coding is as follows:
e.g. 6HP604
1st digit (6) denotes no. of forward gears.
"HP" means Hydraulic Powershift.
"60x" means a class of torque rating. It does not need to be
600Nm. e.g. 400, 500, 590.
"4" means Ecomat 4. It is a generation of the
transmission.
