actually, it hooked up really well, pulled all through first. When I slammed second gear the car just.... died. As if I turned the ignition off. I tried re-starting it as I was going down the track, but since the disty gear spun on the shaft... it was a no-go.

Personally if I had designed that, I would have made the gear splined onto the shaft, and just used the roll pin to hold it in place.
