Sorry, I was a bit unclear on the weight improvements. The weight of the plates on this gearbox is 8% less than the weight of the plates on a dog shifter, so .46lbs vs .5lbs. If the larger gears were milled out, weight could be reduced more.

Some of the weird geometry is necessary because of the odd positioning of the gears, some of it is simply to add character. The "retention screws" are actually mounting points for an encoder.
