i was really hoping to put the Output sprocket inside the transmission but that wasn't possible... or at least practical compared to teh current config..
Well let's start with the FP mount.. You need to secure it in two places, otherwise it's pinion will not fully engage the other gear. The one mount you do have, how would it secure to the transmission plates? (if those plates are 3/16", will we be able to drill and tap them out for #6-32 screws, hmm?)

The shifter fork could be made out of 3/16 angle and if kept short enough, should work OK. I guess this means the internal shifting rod (Andy Baker style) is being abandon due to the reduced space next to the Chip motor?

The pnuematic cylinder is backwards. Easy fix.

Where's the pinion on the Chip? It's not that large blue gear is it!! Is it below it?

And finally, how did you get inventor to do the 701 on the side of the transmission?
