I'm exploring using a transmission to switch between drive modes. My current idea is to mount two sprockets next to each other and use a rear derailleur to move a roller chain between them, like a manual transmission but with sprockets instead of gears. I've also contemplated switching modes manually, but the weight reduction would be minor so I want to try the transmission.
I wanted to see the internal workings of a manual transmission, but I wasn't quite finding what I was looking for. Instead, I looked for a LEGO manual transmission. I found this fascinating video.
