While these various rings, etc. may be a 'better' way of holding the transmission in high or low gear, it will be hard to convince me that it is necessary to do anything other than use the fork that comes with the drill and "tie" it into the gear you want.
We did that from '96 to '98 and won nationals in '98 with such an arrangement. Also, while it is not considered the ultimate in technology, we had the drill motors and gear boxes in the drill cases those three years.
While I completely agree with Joe that drill gearboxes held in gear with tie wraps, and mounted in drill cases are not the ultimate setup, a rookie team with limited resources who wants a robot that will move reliably can do very well with a simple drive train using drill motors and transmission mounted in the drill cases.
