Re: RHD manual gearboxes

They don't reverse shift patterns on gearboxes for LHD & RHD models.
Most gearboxes on cars & light commercials are a traditional H or pattern, with 2 differences being:
1. Where reverse is located, and lockout mechanisms.
2. Less common - sometimes where 1st is (some trucks & older 3-speeds have a 'dog leg' first (where 2nd is in a modern 5/6 speed manual).
Could it be that it was a column shift? They are sometimes considered backwards - ie 1st is closest to the steering wheel, and 3rd is closer to the dash - being the reverse of what you'd expect for a H pattern, but perfectly sensible when you've driven it.
