Are you referring to the Voith SPD's?

I went on 33775 a while ago (last year) which had something wrong with the gearbox. The torque converter in the transmission wasn't allowing the engine to Idle at normal steed, which kept causing the engine to stall (the ATF oil was also overheating and started smoking on some occasions). Due to the fact that it kept stalling the batteries where eventually flat.

I'm not sure if 33775 is the only one in existence that had both the earlier Cummins 6BT and Voith DIWA combination.
