Re: 2 Speed Transmission Suggestions

This is exactly the reason why we sell individual components of our Shifter transmissions. Teams can buy the hard-to-machine parts from us, with a significantly lower total price, after they design their custom transmission.

For instance, the Dog Gear, Large Output Gear, and Small Output Gear are very difficult to machine precisely. If I were to design a custom shifter, I would start with these three parts as COTS items and then design custom from there.

Good luck with your transmission.

Sincerely,
Andy Baker
