Hey guys,
Years and years ago, Reddit had a sub where you could discuss darknet markets. For those uninitiated, a darknet market is a Tor hidden service where you can buy contraband with cryptocurrency.
Unfortunately, several years ago, Reddit shut down this sub because it “violated new rules about the sale of illegal goods” and most of that discussion has moved elsewhere. But with the rules being looser on the fediverse, would anyone be interested in setting up a forum for such discussion here? Would the admins here even allow it?
I’m really excited about how Lemmy can bring back certain communities disallowed by Reddit.
Oh I have no doubt it must have been a step forward in the development of hydraulics in transmissions, you need only look at the black magic box that is modern slush-automatics to see that. Unfortunately my knowledge of anything I haven’t worked on myself (and that’s a very, very limited window of experience) comes down largely to pop-culture and meme content. I’m fairly certain Regular Car Reviews discussed a car with that transmission and what you get is more of a piss-take than a true walk through the operating principles.
The THM 350 was a durable transmission, the 400 was built like a tank, and the later cost reduced 200 was a piece of crap that broke all the time and resulted in a class action lawsuit. Maybe the 200 is what you were thinking of. The demand for used 350’s and 400’s was partly from owners of failed 200’s.

That’s an interesting bit of nuance that is new to me. I’ll have to track down the video in question and see exactly what model it was, and what vehicle it was installed in.
