What result, The Galilean one?

No, as I had explained above.

Wrt one observer, in the srt context, his gearings are straight and
run parallel to each other.


Apparently you put the hears different from the way I understood.

This is by definition of initial
conditions. Wrt the same observer the other shaft's gearings are
helical. How much math would it take to convince you that a straight
line cannot be superposed over a helix, or two show that the spin
rates are unequal?
I was also once in your shoes, briefly.

The spin rates appear to be unequal according to SRT, except as measured in
a frame relative to which the two have equal speed. What is required is the
full calculation of a precise case; the article I referred you to (which
doesn't have gears but two wheels with holes) didn't do any less either.
Note that it's much easier to show that it doesn't work (if this were the
case) then it is to show that it works as you only need to show one exact
part or location that jams or doesn't fit!

So the clocks only "appear" to tick at different rates? I don't think
Einstein would have agreed with that.
