  I'm a Honda master tech at a dealer and you actually explained it better than their own training material lol. I'm kinda not surprised though, the only transmissions they want us to even open and repair at the dealer are manuals, everything else we just swap and send the core back for remanufacturing.

  I've been watching your videos since 2014, the way you complete knock-down the parts, label them and do the demonstrations is out of this world. I hope you live long and health so that we could benefit from your knowledge in future car models

  A remarkably simple transmission, with minimal friction and a total absence of components requiring dedicated actuation mechanisms (except for the Parking mode). The only components potentially subject to wear are the emergency clutch on the crankshaft and the overdrive clutch: the former practically never operates under friction, while the latter is only active in engine-drive mode, without the constant engagement and disengagement typical of traditional transmission clutches. All of this results in a negligible wear rate that easily covers the entire lifespan of the car. Kudos to Honda for this masterpiece of engineering, and compliments to Professor Kelly for such a clear explanation and this incredible video.<br>🙏👏

  This is bloody wicked! Not only is it actually a fairly simple transmission in contrast to even an automatic or manual (It&apos;s essentially just a drop gears in and run transmission, no shift forks or multiple clutch packs and planetary gearsets), but it also reminds me of my other daily driver, a locomotive. The engine turns the generator. The generator powers the motor. Absolutely fantastic.<br><br>The way this is designed also seems fairly reliable, with only one set of clutch packs that really don&apos;t have to do much clutch work, and no real complex mechanisms at play. This really does seem like a plug and play motor/differential combo. <br><br>The old saying &quot;Keep it simple, stupid&quot; (KISS) seems to apply here. So long as it&apos;s kept cool and lubricated, I really see this transmission lasting a long time.

  They say it is better to see once than to hear about it 100 times. This is exactly the case.

  I hope that people can appreciate the genius of Honda&apos;s hybrid system. They used the battery as an energy reservoir between the engine and the wheels, and were actually able to take parts out of the car as a result!

  Professor Kelly sir, You are unquestionably the best in describing how the various transaxles work. Very clear and articulate and not trying to impress the viewers. We are fortunate to have you. Please continue to do what you are doing and may God bless you with good health, piece of mind and enthusiasm for a long time!

  The sweetest thing about his videos is his always pleasant expressions and his methods of putting up the technology in the way commoners understands. Nice video and great person

  Im a retired master auto technician and i just love the way you put your videos together and how efficiently you explain things. Your a work of art thank you.In my opinion from what im learning about hondas hybrid systems they seem to be the most thought out and straight forward of the lot

  If I would have had a teacher like you when I was in school, I would have received all A&apos;s. Great job.
