Dealing with pneumatics isn't that difficult. Don't need an on-board compressor.

I realize pneumatics isn't difficult, but it's A LOT of overhead weight (even without on-board compressor). You'll need at least the manual relief valve, emergency relief valve, pressure gauge, storage tank, solinoid, tubing and your actual pneumatic cylinder. That's quite a bit when all you want to do is shift!
