Re: Transmission/Gears/Animation
It's interesting to study the power flow through the trans. With a trans on the bench & the shift tower OFF, you can shift it into each gear, turn it, & study the FLOW. Then, you discover that the shift rails/forks, move in the OPPOSITE direction of the shift lever! Understanding this stuff helps, when you're doing "ARMCHAIR" diagnosis of a trans problem.

Re: Transmission/Gears/Animation
- Animate the motions of the shifter and the gears (show their sliding movement; should be possible, in e.g. Solidworks, don't know which SW you're using)
- Add colour codings to other gears as well (e.g. the cluster gear, reverse idler gear, etc.) - Before showing the shiftings, introduce each of the critical parts with flash-up text (each of the gears, the forks, etc.) - Add rotational animation of the input, output shafts and the gears Nice to see modern technology applied to our old hobby. I'm still waiting for the day when solid model / *.stp files are available for all Model A parts. If it's still not done when I retire (20 years?), maybe that's what I'll do. Great work! |

Re: Transmission/Gears/Animation
Great video, I now understand why the shift lever ball should be round and not almost square like mine !
