I have read various books about Ford, and I have picked up that the transmission the old man put in the Model T was sort of ahead of its time.
A friend has a Nissan Murano (did I spell that right?) anyway, from what he says, I think it has the planetary transmission like HF1 put in the Model T.
Now I understand how the standard transmission woks. I understand about gear ratios, and about overdrive. Also, what with the proliferation of Voith couplings in the Industrial world, I understand how your basic automatic transmission works (or, if you prefer, "fluid drive"). But the planetary transmiission that was in the Model T, I do not understand.
Any help?
