The gearbox is enclosed with a black anodized aluminum box beam section.

the piece sticking off the side is maybe 1.5" aluminum angle, with a pocket milled out of it for the servo to mount to (with the exception that on the real thing, the shifter is located on the non-output shaft side of the gearbox. It also has an encoder built into the same area. The standard pneumatic shifting fixture remains in the same place.
