I downloaded your .dat, Jeff and built one last night. Very cool. One thing for
anyone else building it from the .dat - the gears that engage the shifter arm
aren't shown in the .dat, but you can see them clearly in the photos on Jeff's
page.

I put some wide wheels on mine, and tried it on the living room carpet (lots of
friction). It shifted into low gear and took right off!

I made a three speed, fully mechanical, automatic transmission a few weeks
ago, and put a description of it on a web page.  It uses a locking

I've updated the page with some answers to the questions that I've been
asked, including the 'Is there an ldraw file somewhere' one.  The answer to
that question is, yes, there is now.  See the page for details.

Thanks, everyone, for your responses!
