Just a thought Absinth, I'm going column auto and I'm not cutting the facia to fit the gear indicator. Do you think a decal on the column/pot would work?

I thought with autos you had to have the indicator showing which gear is selected?

Is that correct for all 3spd column shift? Sounds right.

I wonder how HK-HG commercial 4spds work? I don't recall if they had indication on the knob. Or HD-HR with 4spd or early HK with M20 (pre console shift).

A lot of old cars didn't have the pattern anywhere. The driver worked it out pretty quickly. It amazes me how stupid things like this can become a big deal. I have a Hurst handgrip (T-bar) shifter in my blown Torana with no pattern on it (of course). Nobody that has ever jumped in to drive it has asked me what gearbox it is, what the shift pattern is, or where reverse is. And none of them has had an issue with finding gears....

The world is far too soft these days.

I guess this would be illegal then? You'd get a nice ring spanner imprint burnt into your palm on a hot summer day anyway!

Not to mention a burn on your elbow from the checker-plate door trim.

Is the second shifter for reverse maybe?

Or is that a 4x4 stick?

4x4 low range.
