Re: Why not to shift?

If you're concerned about pneumatic shifters losing air, use single acting cylinders. They're air powered one way and spring powered the other. If you lose air, you won't be stuck in neutral. They're also lighter, cheaper and require less plumbing. McMaster part number 6498K195 works perfectly at $18.02 each.
