Step 1: The Main Box
for this step you must make the main box that holds the gears together.
Step 2: The First Gear
This is the first gear with the motor attached to it.
Step 3: The Second Gear
this is the second gear to be made which has the actual handle to change gear.
Step 4: The Third Gear
This is the third is the last gear to make.
Step 5: Putting the Final Parts Together
This is the final step where you put everything together.

Please please please can you make a video of it working!
I don't get how you switch gears.
Also can you add a clutch.
nice; i like it, i just came here to ask if anyone could help me encasing my transmission plz;
This is a very good instructable. It works well. Just so everyone can know, a silver spacer is the same as three blue spacers. I really like this. the only problem I have with it is the fact that the pictures exclude some parts (the corner of step one) but all else is good
Bravo! Sherlock.
Well maybe some people don't know that a silver spacer is equal to 3 blue spacers. Don't give negative comments to people who are just trying to help out. not all sets include the silver spacers. next time, think before you speak.
How is it negative? I was just congratulating you.
usually "Bravo! Sherlock" is a term used when someone states an obvious fact. That is negative.
Sarcasm much?

:P
BRAVO. WORKS WELL. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO MAKE IT FASTER?
are the blue gears and the golden gears the same because i don`t have any blue gears
yes, but they are a little loose. well at least mine is. the little grey ones won't work because they don't have a place for the tan pieces to go into
i made this then did something similar with 3 speeds but it has no neutral
the offspring is the best band in the world
does it have to be that motor? (i dont have 1)
You can use any. Except for the TINY grey motor.
? what
It's a motor from the knex amusement park kit with the 3 ft tall ferris wheel
OH I HAVE THE FREEFALL ONE
you made mistake in parts list: it is not 7 blue rods, it is 9 blue rods
