All patterns

Reverse and second up, first and third down. The shifter lives on the steering column.

The classic four-on-the-floor for muscle cars and sports cars.

Reverse out past third.

Reverse down beside fourth.

Reverse down and left, under first.

The 930 Turbo four-speed. A racing conversion sheet and a knob listing put reverse top left, as drawn here.

The common European five-speed layout.

First sits down and left, under reverse. Gears two through five run in the usual H.

The most common five-speed gate. Reverse sits under fifth.

Reverse down and left. No vehicle confirmed yet.

The six-speed on the TMGPS tee. Reverse top left, sixth bottom right.

Reverse past fifth. Camaro V8, Corvette and friends.

Reverse beside sixth, often with a lockout.

Reverse down and left. Early Mercedes and the Audi R8.

Seven forward gears, reverse top left.

Seven forward gears, reverse bottom right. The C7 Corvette.

Reverse top left. The crawler gear sits below it.

Reverse sits over a granny (low) gear in the far-left lane, then a standard H for first through fourth. No production car with this exact gate found yet.

A four-speed H with a separate right-hand lane holding V on top and reverse below. We have not found the car yet, or what V stands for: Volvo and Citroen manuals showed no V.

The common five-speed gate with an extra Super Low lane to the left of first. Honda used the SL label on its 1984 to 1987 Civic Wagovan 4WD crawler gear.

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.

Reverse over first on the left, two over three in the middle, and fifth sits above fourth on the right. No vehicle found yet.

First sits down and left, under reverse, with a double H for the rest. Heavy-duty pickups with the ZF six-speed.

Seven forward gears with first down and left under reverse, then a double H for the rest. The Aston Martin Graziano seven-speed.

No H. The gears run in a line: first, neutral, second, third, fourth. Motorcycle style. Sources rarely say where neutral sits, so the order drawn is the typical sequential layout.

No H. The gears run in a line: first, neutral, then second through sixth. Motorcycle style. Factory options and bike-engined cars only: we left out paddle and twin-clutch boxes.

Not a production gearbox. If you know, you know. Ask a TMGPS regular about the knob.

These are manual cars where we have not yet read the gate from a manual or knob, plus a few gates that fit none of the named patterns. Each one is a lead we are chasing.
