It is bigger than the gearbox, but allows remote control. https://picasaweb.google.com/104815240336781491383/LegoRemoteGearboxShifter I have recently designed a stepper/selector mechanism for this purpose.

These 8t gears would have another 8t gear on the shaft in front of them. Then, a slider with one 8t gear would run between these so it always meshes one of the five 8t gears. Another slider would be pushed and pulled by the worm gear and attached to the first slider via a rubber band. This way, when you activate the motor, it pushes the worm gear one stud, which moves the gear selector (second slider) one stud. When the motor stops, the gear is no longer turning so the first slider is pulled into place by the rubber band. This mechanism is 5 studs by seven studs by five studs.

Why would you need an R gear when you can simply switch the motor to run backwards? @Wei
You don’t. Why would you need an R gear when you can simply switch the motor to run backwards?
