Trader mark, I have a 580D with a shuttle shift. My question is how many gears do the manual trany on the floor have? My shift knob is faded I can not distinguished either forward is fwd or pulling the shift liver back is it fwd. or reverse? All I have been using is the shuttle so far however, I might have to push some heavy load dirt someday would like to know where to place the floor mounted shifter. Thanks a bunch. Sorry have to jump in on the blog.
