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.

Omega’s main objective is to cut expenses on auto repair services. Now when owners of cars, which are covered by an extended warranty, from Omega visit one of RP-certified facilities, they do not have to pay the $100 deductible. Moreover, clients can be assured that loosening of the price policy won’t have any negative impact on the quality of provided services.


RP, in turn, wants to ensure that car owners are fairly charged for any kind of repair services. To obtain RP certification, each repair shop must be thoroughly estimated by a team of industry professionals who check each facility for compliance with the highest standards on the basis of numerous criteria (professional qualities of workers, technical resources, customer satisfaction, price policy, and warranty handling).
