OOOOOO
I think, that might be my second red X in nearly 9 years, and it comes from what looks to be a newbe. Funny, I think the first one came from j par, lol
looks like yur starting out pretty hot!
not looking for friends that's for sure.

You gotta save yur RedXs for more serious disagreements.
I mean who slams this card down on something so trivial?
when a simple, "I disagree" would suffice.
I guess yur not married then, eh?
or are you on wife #3 already.
Have you visited the N&P forum yet?
Oh boy, we're in for a treat.

Just not going to argue with guys who can’t drive a simple in-line shifter. If that hurts your feelings you can PM me your address and I’ll send you a teddy bear.

I can drive an in-line shifter anywhere. Done it for years. Its pretty simple.

To downshift from 4th to 3rd you push the lever forward. Seems simple to me. To downshift from 3rd to 2nd or even 1st you pull the lever half way back (not unlike an H pattern shifter) pick up the lock up bar and either pull the handle back (for 2nd) or push the lever forward for 1st.

That’s about as basic as it gets. The only gymnastics required is you have to pull the lock out bar up. If that trips you up you are in luck. GM made powerglides for folks like you.

I’m done discussing this. I’ve explained myself as clear as I can. These shifters are not hard to drive. Not much harder to drive than an H pattern shifter unless you just can’t use a finger or maybe two to lift up a lever.

If you can’t do it it’s not the end of the world. Most guys don’t need a third pedal. You may be the example of that.
