VIDEO CORRECTIONS (compiled from viewer comments):

Manual transmissions are common everywhere but the U.S., apparently. We're skilled researchers and this fact was absolutely not apparent before publishing, but it's good to know. Long live manuals.

From Shady Janzier:
You forgot to animate the flywheel/crankshaft center bearing and tip of the input shaft that goes into it. Those two are vital in keeping everything centered and functioning reliably. Without that concentricity, the input shaft would wobble and eventually warp;

@amac8487

It blows my mind that this was thought of, manufactured , and utilized so often in all of our day to day lives and most don’t appreciate it

@sigma1217

I'm not an auto enthusiest, but watching a video like this gives such appreciation to the brilliance of engineering and the beautiful design that takes place. Even more impressive is they figured this out without computers.

@jakob4112

i’m no animator, but i have seen the inside of gearboxes. i feel like animating something so sandwiched, and tight is something much easier said than done. i’ve never seen an animation of something this mechanically technical so clear and concise

well done 👍

@neoclassic09

It's just stunning that people could figure out how to design and make something like this, and that they were able to come up with it so long ago

@Senki207

"Manual transmissions are rare in new consumer cars" - man, I consider anything after 2000 a "new" car, my Pajero is from 2002

@rizrez

The gearbox is a true marvel of engineering. I don't think it's appreciated enough. Makes my head spin trying to understand it. What brilliance, absolutely mind-blowing!

@tracksparny

I'm in a mechanic field. Working as a tractor mechanic in India almost for two years, no one at my workplace would explain about all of this mechanical stuff. 
I've got no traditional diesel mechanic course. These are the type of videos which are able me to learn about mechanical stuff. And I've got so much better knowing them.

@zoltan902

This is miraculous. I wish I had this when learning to drive a manual 10 years ago.

@th3kr3w100

Support for your creations! This is a work of art!

@jimbrown5091

This is an excellent video. I'm a car enthusiast, former mechanical engineer and current educator and this is one of the best illustrated and explained videos of manual transmission function I've ever seen.

@arijit1989

Finally. I anyways wanted an animation which showed modern manual transmissions. You know, the ones with cable based shifters and front wheel drive. Unsurprisingly, it was Animagraffs who made it possible! Kudos to you. You are simply amazing!

@l3uIletpoints

Thanks! Seriously so amazing. I love driving a manual and always had a vague understanding of what's hshappening,, however, the level of work that must go into making a video like this one (among the others that I've watched on your channel) is mind blowing to me. I really appreciate it and feel like the education you're providing is worth so much. That we can watch them free on YouTube feels like a crime :-) thanks again!

@estebanramirez9633

Anyone ever stop and think about how absolutely brilliant someone had to be to come up with this from nothing? Like there are so many parts it's amazing how something we use everyday is so intricately made

@strawberrysteme9711

This is easily one of THE best videos I've ever seen explaining a manual transmission. You cover every detail while keeping the execution easy to understand and follow along.

@Aitelly

Awesome Animation! From one small Blender Creator to another big creator. You have given us Hope.

@shanelamontagne7334

I have watched 2 of your videos now... I am 49 years old and you have schooled me for all those years! I am impressed and really like your videos. I am a CAD designer and appreciate the modeling that goes into your animation.

@nostradormouse1

This is the best demonstration of how synchromesh works that I've ever seen! A lot of videos seem to brush past it but you really went into the details and now I understand it so much better. 

Thank you for everything you do, I hope your passion for it never wavers

@irishparade

I needed to make sure you got a fresh WELL DONE and THANK YOU. Im not old but ive been driving for 20yrs and Manual is in my soul. I'm an expert at driving ot, i can feel everything and explain it really well, seen all the pieces etc. But this video with your actual narration.. it really coheres everything and illuminates the gaps. Absolutely unbelievable. That comment that said you've made everything else obsolete is completely true.

@Z-30Degrees

I use videos like these ones to explain to new drivers (especially those wanting to learn about the differences between AT, MT, DCT, CVT etc) and this one knocks the rest I've used out of the park by 20 kilometres. This is the best one I've ever seen, well done!
