The tranmission works great actualy, though you are right about the gears breaking and binding. Its only a matter of time before they break, I actuly found some plastic shavings that fell off of it. Im probably going to rebuild it so it has at least 2 gears in contact together all the time so its a little more robust.

By the way, it HAS to shift on the fly, when the gears are rotating it helps mesh them together.
