Try a sync shifting axis with a lengtwise alignment of 3 semi gears connecting to another axis with 2 like so: --|--|-|------ your gearbox ---|-|-|--- motor this way some gears align all the time. Or maybe i'm missing something and you've got it figured out some better way.

–|–|-|—— your gearbox
—|-|-|— motor

this way some gears align all the time.
