I use a square dog with an outside shift plate. 'Teeth' are .160" long and engagement in the gear is .140". You can see this is the white papers in our 2005 gearbox.
This design has had no problems in two years of competition. The only thing about building your own is you have to build, and break in, new gearboxes every year.
