Andy,
I love the concept of 2 motors driving the shiftable gearbox. But... I winch at your motors stacked end to end idea. I may love it once I see the concept in CAD, but for now, I am thinking that I may be able to get to the same place by putting the motors side by side.
I am thinking about making a mechanism that drives the sun gear input to the transmission (the gear that is normally on the shaft of the drill motor). We have done something like this in the past when we had seat motors driving the drill transmissions rather than the normal drill motors driving them. In any case, this mechanism may let both motors do the driving without the stacking problems you had to overcome. I can't quite see it yet, but I am thinking that something simple could be arranged.
As always, there are many ways to design & build a cat skinning machine ;-)
Joe J.
