More efficient gearbox and driveline, I think computer controlled sliding mesh is doable, not too much of a reach, far simpler mechanically, and more efficient.
Replace the shift rods or cables with electric solenoids, the shifter with some paddle switches and put an Aurdino micro-controller in between. Suddenly it's a software problem.
