There is a piece that rotates (the black thing behind the torque limiter) to three positions. It rotates, but it's a relatively large diameter so its not too far from linear movement. It takes a good amount of force to move (very rough estimate - 5lbs) and has pretty strong detents on each position. Of course, this isn't really enough info to build anything off of...

I haven't taken one apart, Andy, so I can't really suggest how something larger than that little black knob can be fixed to that rotating shifter peice. Please keep us updated, though.
