<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: [email protected]</div><div class="ubbcode-body">good question! I think you just pulled the levers straight and not in an H pattern for faster shifts. maybe one lever for first/second the other for 3rd/4th?</div></div>

RE the Bieber shifter;

The handle closest to the driver when pulled straight back shifts the trans up one gear. Release the lever, pull back again and you go up another gear. Keep going till you have shifted through all of the gears, then one more pull and you're back to neutral. If you want to downshift, you pull the handle on the right. If you want reverse, you have to be in neutral first, then put the trans in reverse using the lever with the round black knob. The large round wheel looking affair has an oddly shaped cam groove on the side away from the camera that moves rollers attached to the transmission shift arms that make the shift arms move to determine what gear you are in. Kinda neat for late 60's technology. Last night I asked a friend if he still has the one he had in his 57 Nomad but he has no idea where it might be. He is a major hoarder/collector/junk dealer, but if he still has it, it could be in any of his many warehouses full of <span style="font-style: italic">inventory</span>.

a ratchet style of shifting?
