Both cables are attached to the levers by ball joints and run through the bulkhead via a rubber grommet to the gear lever housing. This system prevents any movement and vibrations from the drive unit being propagated to the gear lever and body.

To engage reverse (R) the catch under the gear knob must be lifted. Due to the spring load in the gear select mechanism, when in neutral the gear lever strives to assume a balanced position in line with 3rd and 4th gears. This allows the driver to easily orient him or herself with the shift pattern and avoid incorrect gear changes.
