Re: Meshing Gears
We TRIED to have a 2-speed transmission ('tried' being the key word  ) but one of the main problems that we encountered was that when we shifted, sometimes the two gears would not mesh or "catch on to the other". Thus the shift did not work, and the shifted gear would come in conflict with the other.
There is always that possibility that one gear will not catch on to the other while being shifted (even if the two shafts rotate at the same speed). We ended up with an eaten up gear and we had to change back to a shift-less transmission. But hey, that one worked
