6 Speed ManualQuestion ?
I have a quick question. SO the camaro will come in 6 speed manual transmission. so my question is Where is the R or reverse gear going to be on the Shift knob ? is it going to be beside 1st gear to the LEFT. or is going to be FAR right beside the 6th gear ?
I hate it when its beside 1st gear like in the pic below. http://www.peterbeers.net/vw_roadtri...ed_Lighted.JPG |

I think the pictures seemed to indicate it would be like the picture above. Unfortunately.

I think thats the best place for R on a 6 speed. Becuase if you dont want to back up and you go stright into 1st you dont have to worry about it being in the way after 5th(I'm used to a 5 speed.) Thats just me though.

I've had 6 speeds with it in both areas and I can honestly say I prefer it over to the left of 1st. Really though it's not that big of a difference.

Corvette reverse is to the left of 5th, I would guess the SS would be the same

The specs above are correct. They are using a more exotic upgraded tranny for the high end engines.
I like the automatic myself. You just click it into Manual mode and use the paddles anyway. |
