Sort of what I was thinking but I was researching the possibilities if a high power electric solenoid for the shifting. This way I could use a circuit to measure amperage which in turn could control a feedback circuit in the shifter box. This would give you an idea of whether the shifter was actually in gear or not rather than guessing. The hard part is finding a powerful enough solenoid.
