German term or phrase: Blockbaugetriebe
This term is somewhat contrasted with Einbaugetriebe in the document I'm working on, as in the following sentence (from a specifications manual for a continuously variable tractor transmission):

Im Jahr 2002 wird das Prüfprogramm mit dem [Type] Blockbaugetriebe durchgeführt, ab Ende
2002 läuft das Testprogramm mit dem [Type] Einbaugetriebe.

modular transmission
Explanation:
For an engine incorporating a transmission in a crankcase, a number of transmissions that are cartridge-type or modular are known and commercially available. A modular transmission is capable of being detached from the crankcase and removed from the engine as a unit, in order to improve serviceability of the transmission.

A modular transmission is provided having a variety of flexible modules. These include very basic speed gearbox and range gearbox modules to which other modules can be added. The other modules can include a front wheel drive module, a supplemental reduction module, and an intermediate module. The intermediate module can include additional ranges and/or a creeper gear. The entire structure is highly flexible, and allows ready construction of a transmission to meet a particular customer's needs out of standard components which can be produced in mass quantities.
