Re: pic: 3CIM Single stage shifter

Any reason you chose to put the higher reduction on the outside (further from the CIM)?
Your low gear would be operating at higher torques and there would be more deflecting force attempting to separate the gears.

This is probably not even a real issue but with a cantilevered shaft it is usually better to keep the net force closer to the bushing.
