An interesting website explaining how cars work

I mentioned this in another topic to do with used engine oil. But after checking out the section on 'how a gearbox works', I am posting this to bring it to the attention of anyone wanting to get to grips with the basics.
The gearbox section couples well-written explanations with excellent graphics, and even a video of how gears engage. I have never seen better!
This link takes you straight to the gearbox section, and you can navigate further from there:

I have no affiliation to this site. The author states he has no affiliation to any branch of the automotive industry.
I wish I'd had resources like this when I was a greasy young whippersnapper!
