I would just take the whole sprocket and derailler (spelling?) assembly off a bike and use a servo to pull the cable to shift it. That way you don't have to go through all the trouble of designing your own and making that work. If I'm not mistasken, these systems have a great deal of complexity and preciseness to make them operate correctly.
