Last year we used drill motors for propulsion. We used servos to shift gears. The problem is you had to be standing still to shift. We had a spring go from the servo arm to the shift lever. The spring acted as a servo saver and wouldn't stall the servo. When the servo arm would swing left/right the spring would pull on the shifter. It worked pretty well.
