It better have a transmission...

Has anyone built a smoothly working transmission?  [Not the Supercar one.]
That was my personal quest for years until I saw the Supercar.  I felt a
little vindicated that TLG themselves had to make new pieces to accomplish
it. :)

Looks like there will be some great parts in this upcoming Technic set:

I am unimpressed, to put it nicely, with the new parts -- they look big and
very special purpose. The car is pretty much already half-built.

Jeremy Morton (Excell Data Corporation) (...) Yes. I had a working H-gate as far back as 1990, using only parts standard at that time. The main problem was that it was 6-odd bricks high, which made it hard to fit into vehicles. Moz (26 years ago, 11-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
