3x5 Gearbox Using Orange Shifters

[SNIPE]

Hi,

I was wondering how to make a 7 or 8 speed RC gearbox using the new orange gear shifter pieces. I originally started off with a different 'round' form factor gearbox but this, while creative, would have been too hard to mesh together the two shifter axles., so I looked at the bugatti gearbox again and noticed that it might be possible to use a 'rectangular' layout which is the most efficiant, but also to make it smaller.

Here is the basic layout, the hard part is adding the main gears to achieve 7 or 8 speeds and without any jamming, SO, I have yet to add those. Maybe some of your ideas would be helpful here because I often just end up confusing myself and jamming gears

You can, if neccesary add a few more shafts if 6 is not enough (2 of which can only take idlers because they are used for shifting).
