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.

Allison Offers Solutions for the New International CV Series

Allison has reported that it will provide the 1000 and 2000 automatic gearboxes for recently introduced International CV Series trucks.




In this series the 6-speed automatic gearboxes are coupled with the International 6.6L TD engine, which can generate 355 hp and 950 Nm of torque. According to officials, the exceptionally durable and high-performing 1000/2000 Series gearboxes are perfect solutions to support the International CV Series’ operation capacities.


These gearboxes are notable for the following peculiarities:

  • Power Take-Off (PTO) mechanism, required if the car is equipped with pumps or bucket lifts;
  • Close-ratios, suitable for off-road driving under severe conditions;
  • Ideal integration with the engine installed in trucks;
  • Unique Continuous Power Technology ensures ideal power shifts and improved acceleration characteristics;
  • Allison FuelSense 2.0 provides enhanced fuel efficiency.

These automatic gearboxes provide gained recognition on the market thanks to the combination of improved operation characteristics and fuel efficiency, enhanced functional adaptability, and improved driving convenience. The decision to use the 1000/2000 gearboxes in the International CV Series Class 4/5 truck offers potential buyers an ideal solution for their CVs. Trucks equipped with Allison gearboxes can be used in a variety of industrial applications.


About 1000/2000 Series

The 1000/2000 Series gearboxes are developed for commercial trucks in on-highway and public transport applications. The 1000 Series is the best solution for heavy lift trucks. The 32-bit microprocessor installed in this automatic gearbox maintains constant communication with the engine and provides optimal operating conditions. The electronic unit controls the RPM speed, load, condition of the road, and provides the best mode of operation of the engine.


The 2000 Series gearboxes are developed for light commercial trucks. These gearboxes are equipped with a turbine driven power take-off mechanism and neutral lock-up option, as well as a parking brake. The 2000 Series gearboxes have up to 6 gears, including overdrive. They are also equipped with advanced 5-th generation electronic control system that ensures more efficient operation and more advanced diagnostic capabilities. 2000 Series gearboxes are notable for high reliability and efficiency.
