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.

Eaton Presents QuietTec Ring and Pinion Gear Sets for Performance-Oriented Cars

Recently, Eaton has presented its QuietTec technology ring and pinion gear sets during the SEMA Expo. The new solutions are intended for highly powerful cars where it is problematic to construct a smooth, quiet gear setup.

These components are extremely important elements of a car’s driveline that transfer horsepower from the propshaft to the differential, then powering the axles of the car to spin the wheels.


QuietTec gears are made with the use of advanced technology to improve tooth interaction and at the same time decreasing accompanying pressure, thereby ensuring better endurance and heat diminishing. Thanks to an immensely steady tooth mesh-and-gear contact arrangement, QuietTec technology simplifies the process of achieving accurate mesh, which decreases assembly time.

Eaton officials say that the new products are produced with high accuracy with the help of sophisticated cutting technologies to ensure refined operating capacities as well as comfort and convenience while driving. New solutions will certainly appeal to admirers of high-performance builds. Whether cruising at normal speeds or racing on the track, these sets couple ideally with Eaton’s wide range of performance-oriented diffs. So far, these gear sets are available for Dana 60, Ford 8.8″ and Ford 9″ axles.
