Manual gear layout


Recommended Posts

  • Admin

May have already asked this previously and forgotten, but is there some legal WOF requirement or something to have a manuals gear layout shown? 

Always seem to see people with aftermarket knobs placing a placard next to them. 

In the market for a new knob as the leather’s falling apart on the stock one so figure I might as well check out aftermarket options.

Yeah I had a scan of the virm too and nothing I could see in there says anything like that. An inspector would have a real d*ck to fail you on something as stupid as that anyway.

 

I'm with Joker just put one on and try, lots of people change out gearknobs and I've never heard of this before.

usually a factory option & I dont think i;ve seen them for sale as aftermarket stickers or plaques that i can think of etc

 

Have seen heaps on Subaru’s, which I don’t believe ever had them as factory. 

Now that i’m actually trying to find a few examples on Trademe i’m coming up with nothing, so guess it really is a non-issue 👍

Think of how many integras and similar are out there with skull gear knobs. 😛

manufacturers appear to take a random approach too.

i've been looking at renault megane rs lately and have found most have a leather knob with shift pattern on it.

but some limited editions have a fancy metal knob with no markings and no placard in the car.

I had an auto fail it's cert because the shifter position didn't actually correspond with what the gearbox was in. But kinda fair enough :P

 

Never heard anything along those lines for a manual.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
