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 Opens New Location in Florida and Reaches a Milestone in Transmission Production

Jasper Engines & Transmissions has recently established a branch office in Pensacola, Florida, to improve the quality and speed of services for local businesses. The company continues to put in significant efforts on expanding its presence throughout the country, thereby improving availability of Jasper products and customer care.



The new facility will allow Jasper to satisfy growing demand on the local automotive market thanks to its solid inventory, including diesel fuel and air elements, gas and diesel engines, gearboxes and differentials.


According to company’s representatives, Jasper products are extremely popular in Florida and Southern Alabama, thus it is no wonder that the company came up with the idea to open a new facility. At the moment, the company has 49 branch offices and 2 distribution centers covering automotive markets in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico.

Take a look inside Willow Springs facility


The facility started producing transmission units in 2004 and achieved a 30,000 unit mark in 2010. It took only another 9 years to get to 100,000, so it can be noticed that the production capacity of this facility has been constantly growing. So far, Willow Springs currently has 56 specialists working at its transmission division. Last year, this division remanufactured 8,525 units.
