Check my page. I have wanted to do the same thing, but didn't know how. So
I looked up a model in the encyclopedia and go the general idea. The
transmission I made doesn't need a clutch, because when it shifts, it has a
little delay between the gears.(a nice feature, but not built with it in
mind, it came when I was trying it). You can put pneumatics on it, and it
will shift for you. To see the page, go to
<http://www.lcs.net/users/oglewood/lego/trans.html>. It is in LDraw format,
and when you finish you can see the rest of my models.
