Default How to lock TH transmission in high gear?

Are there any write ups on how to lock Twin Hammer's transmission in high gear? I am tired of burning servos for the low gear that I never use. I want to lock the trans in high gear for speed. I read that there are some spacers that need to be added but I am clueless without instructions.

There must be simpler ways, if your really only want high gear, but what I use is the Scorched Parts 3D printed gear change lever that replaces the need of a servo altogether.

It’s a direct bolt in replacement for the servo. You would need to trim some of the interior away to use it.

Thanks guys. I will keep that solution in mind though for $24 shipped, it is a bit expensive vs free zip tie to keep the lever in high gear.

An update: I took the transmission apart and following manual, I was able to add 6.5mm spacer to lock the transmission in high gear. I just needed to find a plastic tube that snugly fits the shaft and cut it to size.
