Kinda neat but that little cylinder is all that seems to be holding those teeth in place under load.

You would need a hydraulic one for much more than the ten horse they run I am thinking.

Of course IF what I have heard is true the Minibaja guys are tearing up stock Polaris trannies. So IF this is holding then it may be tougher?

I still would like to see the setups that a ten horse motor is tearing a Polaris tranny up in. Of course the 250 poalris trannies are famouns for being weak too. So a builders team should use the 400cc versions trannies. MUCH tougher.

Also any info on how that tranny you posted actually farred in competition?  Its one thing to build a neato-wacko device. Another to make it really work. (like you-all don't know this! lol)

I have no clue about it. It is interesting and I'm betting it is hydraulic activated.  Probably just a small equal size cylinder to engage and lock in .I just posted it for comments.

I know you posted it just to show it and for comments and it is pretty cool.

The lines connecting to the cylidner LOOK like pneumatic line press-in fittings. The cylinder looks like pneumatic too. But could be hydraulic I guess.

I just think that a good load to the gears would try to push that cylinder out the way its built.

Like I said above I wonder how it actually did in the competions?

I'm just guessing LOW pressure hydraulic like a hydraulic throttle. No real pressure but a solid link. Sort of like fasts hydraulic shifter. Therefore a cheaper air cylinder and fittings  and lines could be used. Just a wild,and likely wrong LOL!,guess. I' also would be interested in it's durability.

It's got to be hydro actuated, it needs positive stops in each position( forward & reverse). I would think that a foot operated pedal would provide enough pressure to hold in position against a stop.
