Infinitely Variable transmission
« on: May 15, 2010, 01:05:51 PM »
So tell me, why is this new? (is it?)  It seems like a pretty simple combination of planetary gears with some extra fluff.  I feel like too many powertrain ME's have spent too many hours to miss this.

or will we all have new transmission in 2 years?

München U-Bahn.  I'll be home soon M4DH4X.
