Sorry. I was a little vague here. We discussed ways to make shifter maintenance a little easier by our second competition and one of them was to drill two extra holes in the outer face plate and use those for mounting. The through bolts would then just hold the trans together, meaning we could take the trans apart without removing the shaft to the center wheel. (Having to pull the center wheel was a big PITA on our 2011 robot, good thing we only did it once)
