Transmission gear reduction video…

September 4th, 2009
Artist Arthur Ganson’s creation called “Machine with Concrete” provides a beautiful illustration of the power of a transmission. Should you input only 1 lb-ft of torque, the other end could deliver 244 quintillion lb-ft. Ganson’s piece demonstrates the unbelievable power which can be generated through simple gear reduction.

C for C made the Foreign Car Companies happy..

September 4th, 2009

Even thought most of the transmissions and other parts on a Toyota, and most of the Japanese car manufacturers are made in America, the main headquarters and executives are in Japan and their respective countries.

Part-4: CVT transmissions- continuously variable transmission

June 12th, 2009
Another transmission article on another version of the CVT transmission — the toroidal CVT system — replaces the belts and pulleys with discs and power rollers. Although such a system seems drastically different, all of the components are analogous to a belt-and-pulley system and lead to the same results — a continuously variable transmission.

Be responsible: take your waste oil to a certified depository..

June 11th, 2009
Being responsible to the environment is your duty. Disposing of used engine liquids such as transmission fluid, engine oil and anti-freeze coolants is not only an environmental responsibility, it is also a public health responsibility.

Do you have any idea what it takes to be a transmission mechanic or technician now a days? It takes a lot more than people give us credit for. A top level transmission mechanic has equally good or better manual dexterity and smarts than a brain surgeon. No joke. Do you understand the theory of [...]
