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.

JASPER Expands Its Line of Remanufactured Transmission Solutions

Jasper Engines & Transmissions has recently reported about the enhanced availability of its remanufactured GM 6T40/45/50 transmission solutions for front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive cars. These transmissions are offered for exchange for some GM models, namely:



Each transmission solution remanufactured by Jasper has to pass through thorough quality control stages before it reaches the end-user, including:

  • Tear-down, close examination and cleaning of components;
  • Before the transmission assembly all new and reman components are subjected to quality inspection;
  • Jasper’s R&D solutions ensure that common structural problems in OEMs are eliminated;
  • Dyno testing is carried out with the help of an advanced CAN control network for natural condition testing (check how the transmission would operate once it is installed in the car). This sophisticated testing ensures that customers won’t have any issues with Jasper transmissions in practice;
  • Moreover, customers also can count on Premium Service Plan.


GM 6T40


As repair shops frequently turn out to be Jasper’s customers, the company decided to offer free-of-charge renting of DREW Technologies J2534 tools and the chance to rent a remote programming system. The GM 6T40/45/50 transmission solutions will be backed by the company’s 3-year/100,000-mile warranty.

It should also be noted that Jasper Engines & Transmissions has recently set up a new subsidiary office in Lubbock, Texas, for the purpose of significant improvements in provided services as well as in customer support in this region (West Texas and New Mexico). According to the company representatives, the automotive business in this region has a great potential, thus Jasper decided to open a new facility to offer more products to potential customers and to reduce the delivery time of its products. The new facility with an area of more than 9 thousand sq.ft. will have the storage capacity for more than 650 powertrain components (engines, transmissions, differentials).
