I was wondering how difficult it would be to convert the 3 Cim BallShifters our team ordered so it would have a neutral gear, or if there is a better way to accomplish the same task, that wouldn't require taking apart our gearboxes?

Make sure you figure out a hard stop to prevent backdriving, once loaded.
