That makes a lot of sense. But this isnt a pneumatic so theres no solenoid. its just a small piece that moves up down. and changes from a smaller gear to a higher gear. I understand the theory behind it I just don't know what the class is for the gear box. It plugs in where the jaguars go but I think I would encounter problems if I programmed it as a jaguar. (sorry im a little confused about this because the electronics team doesnt really know how to put this together.)
