I ran that through a power window switch. I ran the power for the switch through the brake pedal so the ONLY way the actuator can get power is if the brake is depressed. Therefore the only way it can go in and out of gear is if you are braking/stopped.
On the t-bucket you can feel when it goes in gear so there is no need for a indicator switch.
Most ingenious. Considering the Mooneyes deal is $999, you should go into production.

Jim and Muscelrodz--yeah. There's no reason why you can't use both as long as the units are installed on an electronic trans. The two products work independently.
