Quill0Them Duke boys be at it again
tilcicanot true, you dont see (many) manuals in the US
The numbers are bizarre, I know some old sports cars had inversed gear sticks but r -> 2 looks weird, any car amateurs around to help?
It is pretty common to have R on the left, to avoid accidental shifts while car is in motion
Hard to do as usually the R isn’t synced, so you get some scratching but that’s all. Not good ofc, but you won’t blow your engine/gearbox.
What I am saying is that it is very common. All manual cars I have had with the exception of one have the R on the left
