Shift on the Fly Gearbox...

Chris,

Yes,

The window lift motor was for shifting. We used it for our regionals. Then we switched to a non-pnuematic pump shifting system. All we did was fill up the accumulators before each match and they would enable us to shift more than we needed to for a certain amount of shifts...

Actually in the very beggining we did pop breakers because we were way too fast...then we geared down, and still had some problems under tuff pulling matches...So we figured out how to cool down the circut breaker with that "cold spray" stuff and that seemed to help a lot...

I dont have any photos of it yet, but i have this CAD pic...
