I was about to post the same thing when I realized it about an hour ago, but with such detailed discussion (by myself included) into the actual method of shifting and such, I was embarrassed that I simply was missing something. But if it doesn't seem right to you either, maybe this is seriously flawed, or we both are missing something.

Even if the gears were different sizes, the bright green gear in between the pink "slider" would have to be of varying size each time it shifted.

A transmission of this style can difinitely be fabricated, but it woul dhave to be done so in a matter similar to that of 222, that ball and plunger design.
