So I am interested in a car and am getting some info when I get this reply to asking about any 5th gear synchro problems.....

"No problems shifting to 5th whatsoever. The shifter is smooth. If you currently drive or have driven a manual before, there aren't any surprises. The shift pattern is printed on the shifter. Reverse is to the far left and up."

Am I totally losing it or would I be right in saying reverse is normally under 5th. I guess I can't really contest cuz I've only had an AT FD before but I kind of feel like . Anyone wanna clear this up real quick.

 

Reverse is under fifth. To the right and down. wtf...

 

On the european cars the reverse is to the far left and then up. Cars such has bmw and VW.

 

Yep, sounds like you're dealing with a really sharp seller there...

 

sharp like bowling ball, smart like stump

 

Okay okay guys chill out. Thank for the help. I think he just got confused between his FD and his Beemer or something. I was just checking. Thanks

 

on VW's you push down on the shifter and put it in the spot where first normally is.

 

HAHAHA!!! My 83 OMINATOR is like that....Damn that thing is a beast....(for winter driving)
