Probably every transmission repair specialist was keen on LEGO constructions or at least enjoyed making some minor things with their hands. Here's the game taken to a new level of creativity!

Modern auto industry is full of sophisticated drivetrain technologies which are supposed to make your driving experience even more pleasant and trouble-free. Despite a great abundance of sophisticated technical solutions, it is highly likely that very few people know a transmission solution operating like a manual CVT.

Over recent years engineers developed a lot of gear shifting solutions for different car brands, which may seem a bit unusual for oldtime drivers. In this article we will review the most peculiar gear stick technologies and provide video materials related to these technologies.

Only few people know about transmission concepts which were popular 70-90 years ago. For men of today, these gearboxes may seem very unusual and weird, but even now some gearboxes that date back to those years are quite competitive in comparison with modern transmissions.

Nowadays Extroid CVTs are commonly known as “toroidal” due to the fact that the working surface of driving and driven discs in this transmission has the form of a torus. Extroid CVT is not a V-belt transmission, but a friction drive CVT.

Bar’s Leaks Presents Universal Transmission Treatment

Bar’s Leaks has presented its new product named Super Transmission Fix, the 1-st transmission treatment to fix all types of car transmissions. According to company’s officials, this synthetic solution deals with slippages, jolts, harsh shifting, vibrations and fluid leakages in the most popular transmission types currently used by the majority of automakers(automatics, manuals, CVTs or DCTs).



It is claimed that Super Transmission Fix (P/N 1416) consists of seal conditioners to prevent leakages, wear-resistant additives to enhance friction characteristics, and sophisticated anti-sludge additives. This innovative solution is highly efficient against ATF leakages, slippages and shift delays, harsh shifting, and other issues caused by contaminated fluid. Moreover, this treatment also includes a performance intensifier to renew worn-out bands, keep track of fluid deterioration and decrease the noise level.


High-level officials of the company assure that the development of such advanced solutions requires not only financial and technical infrastructure, but also deep insights in transmission technologies, common repair issues and their primary triggers. As a recognized leader in stop leak solutions, Bar’s Leaks understands the necessity for one advanced treatment solution applicable for different types of transmissions, that’s why they created Super Transmission Fix.

This product renews old fluid and restores initial operation qualities. It can be easily applied in passenger cars or trucks equipped with automatics with different drive types, CVTs, DCTs, manuals (stick shift) and transaxle (FWD, AWD), or even in e-car transmissions. Depending on the complexity of the transmission issue, the result of using this product can be noted within 250 miles or several days of driving. Bar’s Leaks is offering a $5 discount on Super Transmission Fix by the end of this year. To enjoy benefits from this discount, you have to go to autocarerewards.com within 30 days of your purchase.
