Since this piston mount seems to mount directly to the side plate, how does the piston connect to the dog gear? (On the super shifter, there is a big spacing between the face of the cylinder and the rod that connects the dog to the cylinder.

Basically how 254 does it. They use that cylinder and it nose mounts/threads into that piston mount. From there it threads into a cone that pulls the rod that pulls the dog.

The only difference between 254's and the AM one is that this guy threads into a block while AM's requires a nut. Both setups do the same thing mechanically.
