Huh. Never seen a shift pattern with "D" instead of "5".

Maybe an O with a D in it, for Overdrive?

OD

my dads '89 f150 had that (the truck i learned in)

That's not a "D," it's a "0." That's where neutral is. Haven't you ever driven a manual before?!

I think that's the shift nob from a 9th generation Ford truck.

Damn. You figured me out!

It's an O around the D; the 80s/90s symbol for overdrive. My 94 ranger had this symbol on the shifter.

With-a-G is back to not having anything written after his username > Party-vi 03/06/2014 at 15:29

Toyota pickup, maybe? I remember seeing these, just trying to remember where....

Usually an O/D is a separate device, unless they were marketing this as a 4-spd with an overdrive gear. Could be!

Neat! I never knew that. My '88 Cherokee just had 1 to 5.

takes a pro to neutral slam one of those.

Just another name for the highest gear (overdrive).

Same way automatics say "L" instead of first.

It's creepy how accurate you are from just looking at a shift knob.

Unrelated to the post, but how do you make your headline jumbo-sized as you have done?

When a mod recommends your post, the title gets huge

One of the few powers moderators have is the ability to make headlines and pictures bigger. =)

We (occasionally) use it for good...

Ahhh I see. Just curious as to how it was done. Thanks.

After the 3rd or 4th recommendation Kinja will super size the headline

Friend of mine who used to have a '94 F-250 called it the "Nutjob gear" because it was only useful at speeds so high that pretty much every curve was too tight (for a F250 at 130km/h of course).

But that may have something to do with the two turbos under the hood.

Ha ha! You can never tell whose being serious and whose trolling.
