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.

INA PAACE Automechanika Mexico City


As the most significant automobile industrial exhibition in the region, INA PAACE Automechanika Mexico City attracts many representatives of the auto business from all over the world. With local and foreign producers as exhibition participants, this event is a great chance for sourcing domestic and international products and suppliers. Considered to be the primary international exhibition for the automobile after-market business in Latin America, this event brings together more than 500 exhibitors from all over the world and over 20,000 visitors. In addition to numerous goods and services presented to visitors, this event will offer useful seminars, unique technological solutions, events for establishing of business ties. Product groups presented at this event usually include: auto parts and components (engine and transmission parts such as valve body, torque converter, solenoids, seals, sensors, bands, friction clutches etc, chassis, charging tools, transformed and rebuilt parts, body, standard parts), electronic mechanisms and systems, car care products, repair and maintenance services (workshop equipment and tools, bodywork repair, paintwork, towing service etc), car customizing, REIFEN/Tires, and many more.
