Are you talking about software-controlled shifting or an actual mechanical automatic transmission?

[Greg Perkins]

Mechanically controlled. The Drills are switched in and out of high gear by servo switching. the clutch assembly looks alot like a rc car transmission, but without the oneway bearing.belt driven to another pulley which is connected to the drive shaft

Seems more complicated than it's worth.
