We (753) used the same kind of transmission last year, as well as outback tracks. I would reccomend using servos to shift instead of pistons. we ran into problems with them. Good luck!!!

I know all about the problems that the Outback system had, and did a bit of CAD work to fix these issues. What you see here is a previous iteration of a design. The more modern version is much better, involving modded SuperShifters, or some equivalent.

Have you thought of using NBD (Nothing But Dewalts). We've used them since writing the paper from 647. We've had very little trouble (some faulty transmissions from the manufacturer) other then that they worked great. And we've used them with a few of the other motors in the KOP. In Fact that's all we used in 2005. No Pnuematics.
