Re: Reverse Gear

This should work pretty much as you plan, although obviously the shafts need to be supported on both side of the gear and such. The speeds won't change in theory, as the gears you're shifting are just acting as idlers. In reality, you'll get a drop in efficiency when you switch from the large gear to the two small gears, which will affect your speed slightly.
