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.

Automechanika Birmingham 2018


The number-one trade show for the UK’s automobile business Automechanika Birmingham will take place in 2018. Heightened interest to the industry progress and accomplishments of previous exhibitions assured organizers in necessity to gather representatives of UK automobile industry again. More than three hundred participants have already confirmed their attendance in 2018. Organizers of this long-expected event promise to introduce a wide range of novelties including seminars, activities intended for establishment and strengthening of relationships with partners, interactive presentations and the program for holding of meetings. The event will provide great opportunities for workshops including a dedicated Workshop Quarter, advanced scope of events, and chances for creation of business ties. These undertakings will help vendors of garage tools and diagnostics to find profitable customers and provide a high level of their products marketing. Product groups presented at this event include: auto parts (engine and transmission parts such as valve body, torque converter, solenoids, bearings, seals, friction clutches etc), vehicle accessories, repair and maintenance operations, dealer and workshop management, car raw materials and many more. This exhibition will be a special intermediary between visitors and exhibitors helping both parties to meet their goals.
