the only 2 reasons in think there are 2 pneumatic actuators in the picture are A) the second pneumatic actuator is just being held up by there for reasons of not wanting to pu it down? B) the gearbox utilizez 2 actuator in which case i would assume its a 3 speed robot? NO?

Nope... the reason for the 2nd pneumatics is to make sure the 2nd motor stay engaged to the first shaft. The 1st pneumatic cylinder is to shift from one gear ratio to another.
