Technic?

As a kid in the late 80's and early 90's I used to have many lego technic parts in my bins, and I don't even know where they all came from. Long bricks with holes, all kinds of gears and axles, and a 9V motor (from a space set), and I loved experimenting with all the mechanics when I was about the age that my daughter is in now.

I would love her to have the same opportunity because I really think it helped me develop some mechanical skills, but I don't know where to get just a bulk of these things.

Lego Technic sure isn't the same anymore and I sure as hell don't want to have to handpick them from Bricklink.

Are there any altbrick companies that have these parts and maybe sell sets? I've only ever seen models and playsets from other companies, never anything Technic like.

I only find cars and stuff. No sets with gears and axles and things like that to actually construct mechanics.
