Anyone know how to make a gear splitter?

I need a gearbox that's 1:1 and 2:1, and then I can scrap the whole gear swapping idea altogether, cuz I'll be able to halve my RPM's for any gear I'm in.

Only need something to go somewhere in the rear drive line, doesn't necessarily have to bolt to the transmission at all.

And before someone recommends GearVendors, or a similar $2,000+ solution, don't bother.

I'm looking for a REAL solution.

Any ideas?
