The shift knob might even be labeled L-1-2-3-R. At least the knobs in my 1967 and the 1979 I had were labeled that way.

These transmissions should be called 3-speeds with a pulling gear.

That's how mine is. The granny gear is straight up and second is down. I don't start in 1st. That makes it worse... And the PO had a beer tap for a shifter knob. So he just explained where the gears were. The whole shift lever is at shoulder height so it's hard to find the right gear for me since I'm used to normal shifters. But I do know the order they should be in.
