On something I saw a starter motor (for a car) with a belt pulley on it. They set it up with a loose belt and it tilts. When the handle is pushed it tilts to tighten the belt and also hits a switch to a solenoid to run the motor. That way they could slip the belt to ease into reverse and it was loose otherwise.

Some people run rice rocket engines on stock Yamaha transmissions. The key is you never drop the clutch. If you leave it in gear and drive around they work ok, then shift very slowly. With the wide range of rpm they didn't shift much. They were running dunes with it. The gears in there are like 1 inch wide, though it does not have posi.
