Not 100% sure but I believe they used a 3 position piston for the main drive shaft. They had 2 speeds and neutral. They shifted to neutral and activated the second piston to engage a gear on to the main drive shaft. All the power was routed to the second drive shaft via the engaged gear.

Boy was that cool to see.
