I knew of, and was actually referring to Jeff Jahr's transmission but, the pneumatic version by Markku Jaaskelainen is totaly new to me. I wish I knew how to make an umlaut on this computer key board. I certainly understand the lacking parts thing. Still, I think it would be fun to build a car using the best available ideas for each feature on the car, instead of depending on the "built in" ideas of one auto chasis. Has anyone ever tried to seriously combine all the very best performing solutions from every recourse to make the ultimate composite auto chasis? Sorry for the long sentence but I think it says what I mean. It would require many people to supply the ideas for such a project. I would like to see it tried but it is far beyond my means. Well anyway I wish you the best on your project and will look for more postings. :-) Best regards to everyone, Paul

While that automatic transmission looks very good indeed, I don't think it's very well suited to this kind of car. I also wouldn't have enough parts to build it into the chassis. Today I've done another 2 rebuilds of the gearbox, so I don't have any (...) (21 years ago, 7-Mar-03, to lugnet.technic)
