I remember finding this diagram on the web long before I ever knew of steelsoldier being on the internet..
how commonplace were these specific kind of transmission anyway? I still can't help thinking a possible car driver trying hop up into the cab for first time then look down and literally go "what..the..hell???? how do I just simply make this goddamn thing go!!" when you consider that all he/she came from is one single stick that works for both directions basically
and mm now for the second question;
I forgot which magazine it ever was in (something from the 90's is all I can possibly recall) but there was a few-pages article titled "Boss Unimog" and the then-owner had saved the thing from a very-soggy-land junked nature and restored it back into working order, the unusual thing it had was that there was no transmission stick as per-se but rather it had like a small horizontal-aligned rectangle control panel on the middle of the dashboard to electronically select each gears and I think I recall that the same somewhat small interior view photo showed that it had numbers on both top and bottom of the middle-located buttons so for example the first button would had been labelled for gear 1 on top and gear 2 on bottom etc .. I'm pretty sure I have not confused the photos with something else from a different non-Unimog article so I have to wonder about that particular kind of Unimog configuration?
