This image displays a classic H-pattern gear selector layout for a 5-speed manual transmission, where odd-numbered gears (1, 3, 5) are on the top row and even-numbered gears (2, 4) plus reverse (R) occupy the bottom row. The neutral position lies at the center intersection of the H. The design ensures intuitive gear selection while minimizing accidental engagement of reverse.
