What is this solenoid shifter? And what advantages does this setup have, I saw the link. How does it work?
If you can use a solenoid there is a substantial weight and space savings by using a solenoid to do the push/pull action you need only the solenoid itself, the relay or solenoid module to drive it. The solenoid works when a current is driven through it, a EM field pushes the actuator.

With a pneumatic system you would need the storage tank, gauges, valves, regulators etc.
