That's too bad, I hope you can come up with something else, maybe just a servo?

If not, maybe you could just make quick change gear locks so that you can decide right before the match which gear you want to use? That would at least give you the ability to change gears if needed.

571 I'm glad your transmissions worked well for you last year; I am also glad to see you are using them again this year. I saw them in person last year and they looked very good and well designed. I hope they work just as well for you this year, if not better, with the addition of your auto-shift feature!

I still look back to our 2004 three speed transmissions and wonder how did we do that? Now I look back at our 2005 transmissions and look at all of the improvements. Now I look back at our 2006 transmission and think wow they are totally different in looks, weight, and size of our 04/05 transmissions.
