Re: Need shifting transmission layouts/ideas

Thanks John. I'm, still confused as to exactly what the layout looks like and what drives what. Do you think you could whip up a hand drawing or MS paint drawing that kind of follows the idea of my attached pic? That would make it much easier for me to understand. Thanks.

I wanted to use a layout like the andymark but I'd have to go huge on all the gears to get the reduction I want. If you could further illustrate your layout, that would be great.

Note: I don't believe the gearbox in the attached pic will actually work because that picture is not to scale and I think the gears will hit somewhere. I don't remember because I made it so long ago, but I think there was some sort of problem.
