Is this shitposting for the sake of shitposting or do you feel special for knowing how to shift?

Euroshits have to learn how to. In the Caliphate of EUckistan you're not special.

Have to call boss, turns out you have to pull a lever the same time as you shift into reverse

Are Europeans so incompetent at driving manual they need levers to stop them shifting into reverse?

>>14808355
Have you really driven manual cars before?

Too abstract for me. I'll take my manual shitbox any day.

>>14808355
I have to pull up on my shift knob to get into reverse, like pulling the foreskin up sorta so I don't try to go into reverse from 5th. It's a GM car so not unique to Europe.

lol

>>14808355
I drove my boss's Ford Ranger, had one of those things on the shifter that you needed to pull up to change to reverse. I imagine it's so that you don't put it into reverse accidentally while driving.

Also the clutch felt like shit, there was no travel on it, so it feels like an on and off deal.

>>14808355
you cant put the reverse in while driving anyways, retard.
try it.

>>14808164

Indeed.

>>14808457
clearly meant that there is a manual lockout on reverse

>>14808742
no, faggot. im saying if you try to put in reverse, it wont work, because the gears are turning very fast into the opposite direction.

>hurr durr that gotta pull up the knob to put in reverse
>manual cars are made for idiots lol

Why do manual elitists act like it's rocket science, I learnt it as a kid with my dad, shifting gears while driving isn't overly challenging or a skill everyone needs

>>14809692
when you need to steal a car in a pinch you better hope you can fucking drive it

I also have to pull up shift knob, this is on a WRX.

I think it's common in six speeds where the reverse gear is furthest right. That way you can shift into 5th or 6th quickly by just slamming the selector all the way right, then up/down.
