Claim 14:
15. A system according to 14, wherein the actuator includes:
a bias spring for urging the slider gear towards the torque transfer position;
a plunger ring concentrically mounted about the crankshaft, the plunger ring including at least one leg extending in an axial direction, wherein the sheave includes at least one axial passageway in which the at least one leg is disposed, the plunger ring being axially slidable relative to the sheave so as to drivingly engage the slider gear;
a driver screw concentrically mounted about the crankshaft for independent rotation relative to the crankshaft;
a nut driver concentrically mounted about the crankshaft and operatively connected to the driver screw, the nut driver being constrained from rotation so as to translate axially when the driver screw rotates and engage the plunger ring; and
means for rotating the driver screw.
