I think you're getting your gearboxes mixed up. A CS prop doesn't have a gearbox, it has bob weights that move with relation to prop speed.
There most definitely is a gearbox in connection with CS props. It's not what's controlling the RPM for different engine outputs, but I would love to see the results if the prop on any TP engine was allowed to run at non-geared engine speed
