You were looking at the valve body. There's two kinds of valve bodies, Manual and fully automatic. A manual valve body requires you to move the transmission into each gear manually, but does not require a clutch to be operated. A fully automatic valve body is what most cars have nowadays. No shifting required, except to go into Park, Drive, Neutral, and Reverse. Now the way the valve body works, is the transmission fluid is pushed through different passages at different pressures to shift the car into each gear. For example, say you're going 40 mph. You then floor the car. Transmission fluid will be forced into the passages That involve whatever gear the car's computer is programmed to downshift into at that speed, Causing the transmission to downshift.

Huh. Interesting, but still only skimming the surface on how they work, I'm sure. :p

also, the image I saw.

I came across the most horrendous thing I've ever seen today. It's the concept for the 2016 successor to the 370z.



It looks like the handicapped child of an SLS and a GT-R, with a splash of Aston Martin.

I guess it's okay, but as a successor to 370z it's ugly.
Also this reminded me of this custom disaster:

Why ;-;
Poor 350z

I wonder if its an electric car.

I don't think it would be feasible to make a 350z electric

I believe all Scion models are originally Toyota models, correct me if I'm wrong

Yah, they're basically the same, just restyled.
