To lock the gear transmissions into high gear you simply have to turn around one of the pieces inside the frontal gearbox section. I don't have it right in front of me but I can post my 'discovory' later. As for low gear, a spacer is needed.

Also, this may not be easier but for teams with fewer resources, the drill output shaft can be extended instead of replaced. Lathe down the threads on the end of the output shaft (but be carefull not to make the walls too thin), drill a hole the size of the modified output shaft in a piece of round aluminum bar stock, put those suckers together with some silver solder and lathe down the result to whatever size you need your shaft to be. This way you have a minimal amount of advanced machine work, in case not everybody has the resources of say chiefdelphi and the other monster teams ;-)
