It's already used for the supershifter. If your design doesn't deviate too far from the AM model then it should be a good fit.
I was planning on using this exact cylinder. However, I've been having problems understanding how the Poofs (254) have used this piston mount interfaced with the cylinder as you listed above to connect to the dog.

Since this piston mount seems to mount directly to the side plate, how does the piston connect to the dog gear? (On the super shifter, there is a big spacing between the face of the cylinder and the rod that connects the dog to the cylinder.
