In each gear, it compares the current rpm to the shift points to determine whether to stay in gear, or shift up/down.
Hmm since we have 4 ranges, for each of the possible gear combinations, I think a binary nested if-else block suffices and should run fast enough
very interesting setup there.. next best thing to variable belt drives
