The STP Indy turbine had a transmission. The reason they led the race and then lost it was because the transmission imploded with five laps to go.
The turbine was banned at Indy since the driver had a habit of getting too close to the other drivers with his exhaust port and frosting their visors. I am sure this was just an accident, but it was a real thing so don't stand too close to the exhaust port.
