Re: West Coast Drive: Output "shifting" shaft
Since I'm just entering into Mechanical Engineering as an Undergraduate next year at UCLA, I am unfamiliar with the engineering principles and guiding formulas to test shear stress applied at certain conditions, and the shear stress that a screw (I'm thinking #4-40) will withstand before succumbing to failure.

Can anybody please enlighten me, or is this not worth calculating?
