        Oh yeah, as far as I know those are the only cars that offer a 7mt aside from some really exotic cars

        Always been curious how those actually work, is neutral still directly between 3 and 4? Like if you press the shifter straight forward you are in 3 right

          Right between the 3 and 4. The weight or pressure to keep the shifter there is much higher than any other car, I think so we don’t get confused by feel where the shifter is because the middle is in no man’s land. And the pressure when I try to slide over to 7 is abruptly more to let me feel I’ve gone past 5 and 6.

          At only a day or two I knew where the shifter was without looking.

          My only gripe is GMs “you just shift into 4th from 1st” when starting off slower. I don’t always want that and when trying to teach my wife how to drive it is really confusing for her.

          She still doesn’t know how to drive it, maybe next year?
