Ahh the infamous couch of JVN and Eric O'Brien. If only you knew how many gearboxes have been designed on those very cushions.
We specialize in comfort and inspiration... and Mariokart, we're pretty good at that too.

It's not like PIC was a big secret. Maybe you should have taken the time to search Chief! Ahh well, better late than never .

Remember folks -- Design is iterative.
I've been through 3-4 different transmission designs just this fall!
(Had a lot of trouble finding one that could live up to the competition...)

Keep trying different things, until you find something that you're happy with.
