Default Re: Micthell OD shifter help needed

I have installed a few Mitchel overdrives, and like the way they work, but the shifter lever is an eye sore and is sorta in the way. I have not tried the cable, but suspect it might be awkward to move the hand from the shifter to the cable handle. I have often thought of using a linear motor to do the shifting, with a switch on the transmission lever. I was thinking of ways to use micro switches to stop the movement at the end of the travel, but also thought of making the linkage so that when the linear motor came to the end of it's travel, the shifting would be complete. I did not come up with a solution on shifting the overdrive to neutral.
I really woulld like a Laycock overdrive, but I dont know where one could be bought.
I have that in one of my MGBs and it works well.
