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.

ATF Change with the Help of Special Kits from MEYLE


ATF Change with the Help of Special Kits from MEYLE

MEYLE, the German supplier of auto components and repair kits, has recently released a new video, which explains how to change ATF in automatic transmissions.

Thanks to the MEYLE ATF change kits, repair shops can offer their customers top-quality maintenance services. MEYLE puts in great efforts for expansion of its repair kit products. Currently, the company offers more than 60 repair kits intended for ATF changes in automatic gear shifting units.




These kits can be applied for maintenance services of 6,000 car models equipped with different types of automatic transmissions and contain all elements needed for accurate ATF change. Commonly, MEYLE AFT change kits include the following: filters, sealing elements, screws, drain or inlet screws, magnets and the necessary amount of ATF. Thanks to such excellent packages, technicians in repair shops can perform transmission fluid change operations without a hitch. Transmission fluids frequently operate under severe operating conditions (extreme temperatures, chemical processes) and frequently lose their operational properties. This can result in gear shifting issues or even expensive repair of hard transmission parts (which can be worn by contaminated fluid or its low level). Generally, it is recommended to change fluid every 60-80 thousand km, depending on driving style and model.


Due to strong demand, MEYLE also provides ATF change kits for popular Mercedes gearboxes (such as 7-G Tronic and 7-G Tronic Plus). These kits include special hydraulic filters, which thanks to their design peculiarities provide optimal filter performance: 4 filtering layers prevent even the smallest particles appearing in the transmission from mixing up with ATF. The latest MEYLE-ORIGINAL ATF change kit is currently the only one on the market that contains this special filter, ensuring the maximum level of reliability.
