Lenco Transmission
ReroyChang
Haven't run into these transmissions before. I have seen images of cars with multiple shift levers like we have here, but there was never any explanation of why that might be.
Lenco Transmissions are different. They are manually shifted, but internally they use planetary gear sets like a conventional automatic transmission for an automobile. The other thing is that a complete transmission is composed of several individual two-speed transmission stacked end on end. Pick the ratios you want and bolt your selected units together to make your own custom transmission.
They seem to have gotten started building transmissions for top fuel dragsters. They were rated for 3500 HP. They are moderately expensive, I'm guessing several times as much as a stock unit. I suppose if you are racing having one of these transmissions would seem like a good idea.
