I just want to see exactly how the mechanism to shift works. I understand that you have a dog gear that moves along a shaft, disengaging and engaging the gears you want to use. But I don't really understand how the servo/piston works to do this. I guess what I really need to see is just a video of someone shifting one of them or a picture that makes the system easy to see.
