Huh, I didn't read it like that, but as long as you get the concept now, cool

Having a ratchet device machined might be the only solution, but we are looking into industrial grade ones that might shift easier under load. Money is a bit of an issue, but I imagine any ratchet we found would be cheaper than a transmission.
