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.

Zekkert Presents New Clutch Kits


Zekkert Presents New Clutch Kits

The German company Zekkert has recently announced expanding the range of its clutch kits. New solutions are intended for such models as Nissan Juke and Nissan Quashqai. According to the company’s press office, now there are 25 new product items available for potential customers.


It is claimed that Zekkert clutches have a long service life with constant performance characteristics. The manufacturer claims that the failure-free resource of these clutch kits exceeds 1 million operation cycles.


Zekkert’s clutch kits are notable for the following benefits:

  • Use of high-tech materials for manufacturing of clutch baskets (structural steel SPHE, 50CrV4 steel);
  • Comfortable gear shifting thanks to the small moment of inertia of the driven disk, which effectively reduces the level of vibrations in the “engine-gearbox” system;
  • Automatic assembly of kits;
  • Multistage automated check for product geometry at different stages of production and quality control.
