4 speed, overdrive and low

From the Gearbox Wiki, the reference for people who still shift their own.

Looking for another gate? See all patterns.

4 speed, overdrive and low is a manual shift pattern. Reverse over L (low) in the far-left lane, then first through fourth, with overdrive (OD) in a top-right lane. No production gearbox with this gate found yet: Volvo and Triumph overdrives use a switch on the lever, so they do not fit. The Society has 0 vehicles on file for it, 0 of them verified against a manual page or an original knob.

Gearbox badges: V verified C corroborated U unverified or not found.

Status: Verified means we read the gate in a manual or on an original knob. Corroborated means second-hand sources. Lead means not checked yet, marked [citation needed].

No vehicle on file for this pattern yet. Know one? Send the manual page or a photo of the knob.
