Weekly update, because I don't have a video to post today.
Ok, I just placed the order for my shift selector housing assembly. I made some minor changes to the plans on the design. I ended up having the threads cut into the design so I didn't have to deal with the effort, and possibly breaking a tap inside of a something so important.
1st photo is the topside view
2nd is the housing I have designed in relation to the Ferrari/Maserati actuator
3rd is Underside of my design
ETA on this part is 3 weeks.
I have the input shafts for the propeller shaft of the torque tube drawn up and pretty much finalized. My next step on this is to get that put into an engineering drawing and the machine shop will get that part rolling, add that to another thing I have never done before and need to learn. the material will be in 8620 and then heat treated. roughly 8-10 weeks out on this at the earliest.

Transmission input shaft is the 5th picture
The Shifter selector rod is currently with the machine shop and should be getting cut within the next few days. Once I have that done, I will run it over to a plating company and have it coated with electroless nickle to allow it a super smooth and low resistance finish. Just like the manually shifted and controlled Ferrari/Maserati cars. I *might* have it done within the next 2-3 weeks.
The shifter rod is photo number 6
