Are there any pictures/specifications about the killker bees transmission.
The design is being drawn up in CAD, and the code to make the transmission automated is being perfected. Before next season however, we will have CAD drawings, code, design details, etc.

i think that this might be problematic when it comes to meshing the gears
We had almost no problems with this. As Andy said, take the spot where the gears fit together perfectly, and move the center of the shafts apart 0.0015'' and its enough to allow the gears to mesh nicely. I believe we also originally filed the edges of the gears a bit to make them mesh a little better. Also, be sure to heat treat the steel gears to harden them which will reduce grinding. Making the gears a bit wider so they have more contact surface area also helps some.
