I understand the basic concepts of a constant mesh setup in a transmission. Normally only manual transmissions are such. However Honda automatics are constant mesh.. what are the pros and cons of such a setup?

Its my understanding Honda did such a thing so it could avoid paying patent fees.

Thanks.. but Honda transmissions dont USE planetary gears.. thats why I'm searching (and not finding) out what exactly is inside the transmission and WHY.
