Calling the development of the easy-to-use transmission "the keystone that made possible the personal freedom and mobility" drivers enjoy today, author Philip Gott presents an overview of the history of the passenger car transmission. Changing Gears looks at transmission designs which have been novel, interesting, or instructive, with a special focus on those which have a direct lineage to the modern automatic transmission. This fascinating, comprehensive historical survey includes numerous illustrations and diagrams tracing 85 years of progress.
