Cool Re: RHD manual gearboxes

Boza back in the seventies I drove a semi trailer
it was a MAN with a 12 speed ZF box
and you drove it **** about face
just think of a six speed Falcon box
1st and 2nd was where 5th is plus it had a 2 speed spliter
3rd and 4th where where 6th is
5th and 6th were where 4th is
7th and 8th were where 3rd is
9th and 10th were where 2nd is
and 11th and 12th were where 1st is
dont ask about reverse you had to push the stick down
like an impala shift and grab 2nd gear
and it was a crash box no syncros at all
I also drove an MAN with a pogo stick and also a collumn shift one
just think Mk2 Cortina but with 12 gears
thanks John
