Old is good. This is pretty neat. I had never thought of gears as related to levers...so simple. This is the best explanation of a transmission I have seen. Colin may cringe at some shifting shown here, but it's a real kick. Cars are great.

I will look at it later, but yes, levers. When you are ready for synchronizers . . . .

I still am in wonder that this little things do such hard work. I also wonder if it is time to update that article and simplify its presentation.
