<VV> Automatic floor shift conversion kit

[J R Read_HML]

No....

It is more like:

R      1        3
:___  :____ :
         :         :
         2        4

There are only two possible positions between 1 and 2 or between 3 and 4. 
It is not all 4 gears in a straight line.

On the PG, it is like:

    R
    N
    D
    L

with considerably less travel distance in the position of the lever between 
gears - thereby a much greater chance of hitting the wrong gear.  Probably 
part of the reason that in the later '60s (67?) a notch was placed between 
some gears - to avoid accidental engagement.

Perhaps a pattern like:

    R
      N
    D
      L

might fly - just printing it on the knob, I mean.

Later, JR
