      True, and it was the same on another video Scotty Kimer posted called ""Who makes the best ENGINE, and why?" But I thoroughly enjoyed watching both, and I truly believe it was a much better use of my time than watching a mostly subjective view on "the best" engine or transmission.
      Put in other words: There are these kinds of transmissions out there. What's the best one? You be the informed judge.

    Scotty, you would love this. When I was still a very green Mech. Engineer I worked with an old pump and motors engineer and we installed and adjusted an Allis Chalmers 2 million gallon a day pump and motor. It used a flow meter and Pneumatic controls to control the pumps 18 in. radius disc in and out and had two huge serpentine belts that controlled the flow complicated with the fact the motor was also two speed. I had to learn to maintain two of these and keep the valves adjusted correctly. The thing was about five feet high and the plants overhear crane helped us lift the motor off for service. The belts were a new fangled technology in 1975, four inches wide and costing 800 dollars back then. I was in LOVE.

    My parents had a 1958 Chevrolet that had something like a CVT, but it was hydraulic. It had 3 turbines and the transmission could valve the fluid to 2 of the turbines at the same time, in any proportion that was needed. It did not have definite shifts that could be felt. The car just went faster, accelerating but the engine speed remained about the same. It was called the Turboglide. My Dad called it other things as they had reliability problems. Eventually he had a Powerglide installed.

    Considering everything, cost, performance, smoothness, range of application etc the best transmission in today's world in ZF 8HP models. Pretty reliable, better fuel efficiency than manuals, very smooth changing gears, almost as fast as dual clutch transmissions. ZF got the best of both worlds. That's why they are installed in BMW, GM, Toyota, Alfa Romeo, Audi, Aston Martin, Dodge/Chrysler, Lambos, Land Rover, Porsche, VW, Rolls and more....

      You may want to ask them what they're definition of lifetime is. Is labor covered, or just the transmission? Do they give you a new, rebuilt or used transmission? Are you required to have your vehicle serviced at the dealership to qualify? Is there a per year mileage cap? What types of failures are covered? Is there a time to completion guarantee? Do you pay extra for the warranty? Does everyone qualify for the warranty, or is it based on something like your credit score? Does the dealership reserve the right to cancel this program if they so choose?
      I'm a dealership technician. You are not going to get free transmissions for the rest of your life. You will pay for it. Its just a matter of how.
