Then the high gear would be made a neutral gear as described in the other thread. This would make it so the pawl would not have to be pulled out just the sifter would shift to neutral. What my question is when the low gear has so much torque on it will the sifting mech be damaged or hurt in any way when it is pulled into neutral?

No, mechanically the Ballshifter construction is very well suited to releasing under high loads, due to the geometry of the shifting mechanism the shifter shaft sees a much smaller load and may be pulled free with much lower amounts of force than DOG shifters.
