Ah right, you can accomplish two different positions with two cylinders, but not if it is mounted to he same coupling. Yes, if they were different length strokes it would probably just shatter the coupling.
Long day of troubleshooting, must sleep.
I am surprised the ball shifter would need a 2nd piston based on Paul's (theoretical) math, but the extra help won't hurt and it's still nowhere near the force needed for a dog gear. Much more compact than a big bore cylinder and a lever arm!
