Actually, this design is alot like your team's gear shifting desgin. The way our gears engage and disengage is a bit different, and they were able to do this on the fly, but the overall concept is the same. We eventually got smart and actuated the shifter mechanism via pneumatics as DJ and Clark mentioned above.

I am anxiously awaiting your white paper, and also seeing the machine in person. I really want to see how you did the shift on the fly. We've trashed entirely too many Bosch trannys. Fortunately none in competition. At least we've gotten pretty good at rebuilding them.
