I haven't worked much with shifting gearboxes, so maybe this is a silly question, but could the shifting be moved up to the output of the cluster axle, rather than the input of the wheel axle? With the wheel all the way out by the ends of the CIMs, this looks like there would be enough room for the pancake on the other side. This would obviously be a higher-speed, lower torque shift, so perhaps a different shift mechanism would be in order.
