This is not exactly how the technokats works. On the technokats the two output gears are not attached to the shaft. As far as I can tell they rotate freely around the shaft until the dog is shifted inside the gear thus spinning the output shaft at that gear ratio.
I would assume that my Lego version works because of the size, number, and spacing of the teeth. If you had gears with more teeth it would seem that it would have a harder time at meshing the gears.
I’m no expert at mechanics… just LEGO! My strong point is more on the initial concept and design, not the final product.
