i need to figure out a positive stop system for it.

What you could do is put three pegs on the back of the main gear at equal distances. Then, when you press the button to start the shift, make the worm gear motor latch with a small circuit. When the gear come around, have the pegs hit a small switch that unlatches the worm gear motor so it stops at the right spot.

Very ambitious idea! I fear it may be overly complex at this scale, but anything is possible. I wouldn't try to make homemade gears. To much room for error. I'd hunt through junk until I found likely parts. Old toys, watches, clocks, old timer units, etc. One aspect of this idea that bothers me however is the addition of another motor to fascilitate the gear changing. This combined with the transaxel set up may add to much weight to the car negating the gains from the gears. This is a side issue as it would still be amazing if you got the thing to work. Good luck to you! I hope you pull it off.
