This drives me crazy: CF Shifter Pattern (not exclusive to this shifter!)

I can't unsee this whenever I see a 6-speed shifter pattern!

As one uses the trans, R is out of the pattern, askew and off to one side in real life. The real shifter pattern centers with 3 atop and 4 below. We're all addicted to centering the shifter here. The precision in mind and practice are important. No one like money shifts. Also, OCD is killing me. I look down; I know I am centered in neutral, with 3 above and 4 below, but that shifter pattern implies I am not. Center the shifter and 3 and 4 are off as displayed.

It's a mental thing. I should ignore the off-centered pattern, which should center the 1-6 pattern and leave R hanging off to the side. But whoever winds up printing these things centers the whole pattern. 1-6 should be centered.

This is the most trivial thing, but I needed to get this out of my system. I need to get rid of this pattern (but I like my CF knob and see the same mistake repeated on every 6-speed shift knob).

Argh!

It is straight, between the far ends (Include Reverse gear).

Also, just to piss you off:

^ that should be the center so the shifter is centered. :unsure:

MS mouse cursor doesn't corrupt my driving experience.
