Adam, what we did for our first series of gearboxes was reuse the AM shift shaft, block, mount plate, etc... We later switched to our own custom setup.

It may save you time and make the process a lot more painless by reusing his components, and going custom when you feel comfortable doing so.
Alright, what we plan to do is make a custom output shaft, but reuse AM's dog and shaft assembly.

Thanks for all your input.
