Nope...Reverse should be far low right and 1st in its place.

I agree.  Dogleg, for the win.  I just wish I could find a dogleg gearbox for my track car that wasn't the price of a ransom.

I will stick with conventional thanks.

Although I do have to watch myself. Two of the vehicles in our house are traditional 5 speeds (reverse below 5th), my daily is a 6 speed with reverse all the way towards the driver and up (next to 1st).

Couple times now I have almost pulled off a 5th to R shift in the five gear vehicles.

I just bought a 6 speed with R in the lower right, with a lift gate on the shifter.

At least twice now I forgot to lift the gate and went in 6 and started to move forward thinking I was in R. It's funny how old habits are hard to break when your not really thinking about it.

The favorite of my semis shifts like that, then you flip the switch and get 6-10 in the same pattern. It is the natural shifting pattern.

Only vehicle with a manual transmission that I have currently is like this. Lol

"L" is basically useless. Even more so in 4 low. Lol(you can let it idle and get out and walk next to it)

Yep....I have driven other patterns, but I have a Mustang 5 speed as a DD....I had a Datsun 280Z for a decade which was the same.

The pattern makes more sense to the mind, if you move the shift backwards to go backwards.

I have driven some of these other wild patterns and I currently have a Class A CDL, so I can drive that Eaton Fuller that another poster posted above, but for a standard road car or truck, first gear needs to be up and to the left and everything corresponding in an "H" from there. If you want to go reverse, then reverse your gear shift.

Reverse on mine has a stiff lockout (you basically have to smack the shifter over to open the reverse gate. Couple times I have been napping at a light or making a multi point turn in a hurry and thrown my truck in reverse when I wanted 1st (oops). Has a short throw shifter so it is a little hard to tell what gear it is in sometimes.
My smog guy almost put my truck through the wall of the shop when backing my truck onto the above ground dyno. Tire shop guys just have me pull my own truck in/out.

That's all well and good, and what is in everything I own but there's something to be said for One Lever One Gear.
Grab it and yank it, move over to the next one.

I never have to haul on any roads with a limit above 65, and since I make it a personal policy to avoid interactions with the police at all times 65 does fine for me.

When driving hard, I'd rather have 2nd right behind 1st.

Even with a short throw, I'm faster 1st to 2nd than 2nd to 3rd.
