Started as a kid with 3 on the tree, went to 4 on the floor, then in the military had every conceivable shift pattern (16/2, 8 with hi/lo, even a 12 speed!) and finally came to rest on my SHO which is a 5-speed (YAY!),
I can grind em and find em on a six pack.
Grew up on a farm in the ’60’s. I drove a lot of vehicles before I ever got into one without a clutch.
yeah. I remember thinking just how weird is this ? no clutch ?
took a while to get used to it too. sold my last “stick” a few years ago now. wife can not work a clutch to save her ass.
so it all automatics how. anyway, it hard to find a stick shift anything
on a car lot today. bought a new Nissan truck last week and they didn’t have a stick shift one on the lot ?
but with the Nissan you can turn off all of the nice (?) features they have on other cars/trucks today. like stop/start whatever to save gas ? and lane whatever they call it. parking assist or whatever.
the only reason why I bought the Nissan was because of that.
turn that shit off.
I grew up on a farm. Learned to drive a car that had a 3 on the tree. We had a Mack Thermodine cab-over that had 3 shifters to give it 24 forward speeds. I had diagrams of the shift patterns taped to the dash when I was learning to drive it on the road at 15. I had a Farm driver license and I could drive farm vehicles on the road at 15. The Mack was a farm vehicle.
Yup yup.
