How a gearbox works

Have you ever seen how a gearbox works? It’s really fascinating, but we’re sure that once you learn what this gearbox is built with, you’ll be even more amazed. We bring you a spectacular video showing, in great detail, how a manual gearbox works, built entirely from Lego pieces.

The Lego gearbox has a great many details, so we’re sure the video we bring you will leave you open-mouthed. The video was published on the Lego Technology YouTube channel and was made by a Lego expert who is also a motorsport enthusiast.

The model of the gearbox built with Lego has an H-pattern shifter. This also adds a touch of complexity to the whole assembly. This shifter, like that of any car with a manual gearbox, allows gear changes with great precision across all the gears involved in the maneuver.

Think that’s not enough? The Lego expert has built a dynamometer test bench to clearly show how every gear works at every rotational speed. Isn’t that impressive? What are you waiting for? Hit play and get ready to be amazed!

If you’ve never seen how a gearbox works, we assure you that with this realistic video you’ll learn all the secrets of manual gearboxes.
