Oh, in that case carry on - my mistake.
However like everyone else says, you're building the WCP transmissions. It would be a lot better learning experience for your students to develop something entirely new that fits your needs. All of my team's transmissions have been COTS, and will continue to be COTS in the future, however I've definitely tried developing my own gearboxes in CAD that were unlike any I'd ever seen, and that has been the greatest learning experience to me.
