Re: pic: 3 speed concept - 1st gear

What are you planning to shift with? Pneumatics or another method?

Also, are you going to do anything to make sure that the gears mesh right away - make sure shaft 1 and shaft 2 rotate at the same speed, round off the teeth a bit (given that the gear is thick enough to do so), etc.?

One more question (probably with obvious answer, but I'm sleepy ), the middle shaft isn't just going to be hanging like that in first gear, right? It's going to be extended through the plate?

Anyway, looks cool, I like.
