I'm certain you just like to argue the small points haha. I was referring to mechanical as a means to select gears. Soon it will all be solenoids or actuators instead of valves that need to be manually manipulated. More like a current style transfer case, mechanical gears actuated by electric motors. I probably should have used the term hydraulic/mechanical transmission. Or is there another term you would like me to use to prevent a semantics lesson?
