minus-squareValmond@lemmy.mindoki.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoThe numbers are bizarre, I know some old sports cars had inversed gear sticks but r -> 2 looks weird, any car amateurs around to help? Edit: Thanks! It’s not weird! Maybe slightly unusual but that’s all!
minus-squaretilcica@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 year agouhh looks normal to me i drive a 2009 alfa romeo 159 you have to lift a ring on the bottom of the shifter to get into reverse and then 1st on top left, 2nd below, 3rd top middle all the way to 6th bottom right
minus-squareValmond@lemmy.mindoki.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoAah yeah it was the R place that threw me off, thanks! Remember my friend lending me his ford(? a loong time ago) with that ring and I spent 15 sweating minutes to figure out how to go backwards :-D
minus-squareqjkxbmwvz@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoI think it’s common for 4sp transmissions. 5sp less so since it makes more sense to put 5 and R on the same side of the H (unless it’s a dogleg 5sp).
minus-squareZeth0s@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoIt is pretty common to have R on the left, to avoid accidental shifts while car is in motion
minus-squareValmond@lemmy.mindoki.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoHard to do as usually the R isn’t synced, so you get some scratching but that’s all. Not good ofc, but you won’t blow your engine/gearbox.
minus-squareZeth0s@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoWhat I am saying is that it is very common. All manual cars I have had with the exception of one have the R on the left
