The transmission itself is butt simple. Basically a dual range transfer case with two speeds in each range; Low 1&2, High 1&2.

It’s the fluid coupler, clutch, and electrics that make it complicated and very heavy. Apparently, you can push start the car but, like Back to the Future, you need to hit a certain speed. In this case 35 mph versus 88 mph. I think I would rather have a working starter.
