Spinning a Piston Rod

In a shifting gearbox, if the pnuematic piston that throws the dog gear from gear to gear were connected in such a way that it caused the piston rod to spin, wouldn't that cause serious issues if there was a slight amount of wobbel? The size would be something around a 1 to 2 inch throw with a 3/4 inch bore. I know even the small pistons are strong, as proved last year with Sparky 5, but can they take the abuse of having the piston rod spun at speeds of a gearbox throught an entire match?
