Don't you find the position of reverse on the Polo gearbox annoying (on the 5 speed manual, that is). I keep trying to find reverse in the position the Morgan has it. With the Polo it is also too easy to think you are in first when it has inadvertently been left in reverse.

Hi Peter,

My Polo GTI has quite a nice six speed 'box. Light and easy to use it only catches me out when travelling quickly and (trying) to change down a few gears whilst heeling and toeing...probably more to do with my lack of ability.

Having said that I'm not accustomed enough with the Mog yet to confuse it with the VW.....its with the Mog I struggle to remember where reverse is, especially as I've change the knob for one without directions ooo
