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 Riyadh 2018


Automechanika Riyadh is a major exhibition related to the complete automobile after-market and service industry. This event will reveal the emerging market and great opportunities available for representatives of auto business from all over the world. The main goal of this show is to create a perfect environment for producers, retailers, and customers to get in contact with new vendors, view current developments in the industry and find new product options on the market. It is expected that this event will be attended by more than 150 exhibitors from over 20 countries. Automechanika Riyadh is also aimed at attraction of international auto business to Saudi Arabia’s two largest automobile aftermarkets. According to the data provided by the organizers of this event, a major part of the auto parts market (about 45 %) in Saudi Arabia belongs to Riyadh. Product groups presented at this event usually include: auto parts (engine and transmission parts such as valve body, torque converter, solenoids, bearings, seals, clutches etc), vehicle accessories, repair and maintenance (such as testing and measuring equipment for workshops, body repair, paintwork, towing service and more), electronics and systems, car customizing, car wash and care.
