Oh yeah, as far as I know those are the only cars that offer a 7mt aside from some really exotic cars
Always been curious how those actually work, is neutral still directly between 3 and 4? Like if you press the shifter straight forward you are in 3 right
Right between the 3 and 4. The weight or pressure to keep the shifter there is much higher than any other car, I think so we don’t get confused by feel where the shifter is because the middle is in no man’s land. And the pressure when I try to slide over to 7 is abruptly more to let me feel I’ve gone past 5 and 6.
At only a day or two I knew where the shifter was without looking.
My only gripe is GMs “you just shift into 4th from 1st” when starting off slower. I don’t always want that and when trying to teach my wife how to drive it is really confusing for her.
She still doesn’t know how to drive it, maybe next year?
Corvette? 911?
Could also be a 4x4 with a crawling gear (e.g., Ford Bronco), but I’m not sure if that counts
Corvette, not many know that!
Car enthusiast?
