Thats what I'm thinking for next year. Ive been comparing dewalts to a custom dog shifter and it looks like its only going to cost us about $50-75 more per transmission for a dog shifter. Which depending on how our dewalt prototype works, might be worth the price difference to go with the bulletproofness (I just made up a word) of the spur gears. We would have to modify an AM shifter for direct drive but other then that it would be perfect.
