i was playin gt3 and i thought, "I wonder if the shift pattern is the same or if its reversed..."

Ive never seen a rhd car in person so I have no clue

is the pattern:
1 3 5
|--|--|
2 4 R

or is it:
5 3 1
|--|--|
R 4 2

The latter makes more sense to me...but then the tranny would have to be different and that would mean jdm engine swaps would mean relearning patterns...so...It cant be reveresed

Just clarify it for me

I think it's the same as what lhd is, just that you have to learn to shift with your left hand instead of your right.......sorry, don't know for sure and the Australian guy that works here is on vacation or I'd ask him.

I can drive with my left hand on stick. I think RHD is better than LHD. But, I canīt drive with my right hand on the stick cuz my hand are lazy. :mad:

It is, I am positive. But, the windshield wipers / turn signals are opposity (turn signals on the right side on RHD).

It's pretty funny, you can tell the knew drivers. They'd be wanting to turn left, but instead hit their windshield wipers.
