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.

Muncie Provides Updated PTO Mechanisms for Eaton Cummins Transmissions

The company Muncie Power Products updated TG and 82 Series power take-off (PTO) mechanisms. Now these sophisticated units have sealing plate gaskets which can endure the automated transmission oil employed by the gearbox.


Enhanced PTO solutions are intended for Eaton Endurant and Paccar gearboxes. The main peculiarity of updated PTOs is that engineers used a sealing plate gasket instead of a paper gasket. Thanks to this solution, the specialist can install the PTO without the gap clearance examination. The seal plate gasket is a result of combined efforts of Eaton and Muncie specialists. Updated PTOs are applicable only in pneumatic shifting.
