Re: Transmission question

A poster who comes here from time to time recently asked in an email to others about why the separate and complicated overdrive unit was continued for so many years. He posted it would have been simpler to build a transmission with a 4th over-driven gear. This is what the modern transmissions do, albeit a 5th gear for overdrive. No governors, no solenoids, no relays, no lock-out cables, no kick-down switches, etc. Makes sense to me. I guess we learn from the past. Let the stones fly!
