Re: Electric Solenoids for Shifting

One speculative method is a custom-made screw-type actuator, which uses a (relatively) small motor to turn a screw, which drives a nut into or out of the gearbox to effect the shift.

This is essentially a tiny linear actuator, and can be far faster and more powerful than a servo.
