Is there a way to make a one-way gear relation?

I am assembling different gears and am working on animating them accurately. I have two motors, one to control the wheel angle and one to control the wheel speed (this makes more sense if you look at the assembly). I'm stuck at the middle (at a gear called "Double Gear"); either I can rotate the wheel angle properly or control the speed properly. One solution I see would be having a one-way gear relation between two revolutes, but I don't know how I would do this. Please let me know what I could do.

Gear Question - Copy | Mk4i angle (onshape.com)
I just copied your tube, since I just needed any part to act as the controller.
then I created a rack and pinion relation to control the wheel speed
and a gear relation to control the steering.
