  it should be those ZF-ed O405s if it sound like an SMRT O405..

  Anyway, SMB41S (KJDEP 307) always make a 'weird wooing' sound every 1 - 2 mins constantly since its A/C had been internally modified.

  I know got some VO3x Batch 1 sound and feel like LO3x... Dunnoe why...

   

  Maybe they tuned it too much? Some feel really bouncy-ish...

  LO-like gears.

  first gear drag long long then the rest shift very quickly.
