The importance of a gear knob
The gear knob is at the end of the gear stick; it forms the handle of the gear stick. Usually the gear knob includes a shift pattern diagram of the gear selection system. In other words the positions to which the gear stick should be moved when selecting a gear. A standard manual transmission vehicle, with five forward gears, will have seven positions: the five forward gears, reverse gear, and a neutral position in the centre. A special button is provided in some vehicles to prevent accidental engagement of reverse. In others a lever needs to be lifted, pressed down, or forceably engage reverse. In rare cases, a re-alignment takes place where the gears are located, when the gear stick and gear box in general can completely shift. This places 1st gear where 3rd normally is, and respectively, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th where 4th, 5th and reverse normally are. This leaves no room for the reverse or 5th gear, making the car unable to use these gears at all. The Mitsubishi Magna TR's are most known for doing this, and also usually won't go into 3rd gear either.
Modifications to the choices made by the transmission system depend on engine and road speed. Many automatic transmission vehicles have extra controls on the gear stick, or very close by as a result of this. For example, economy, sports or modes which respectively will allow by and large for lower and higher revolutions per gear, before changing up. Some specialist vehicles have other functions on the gear stick controls. The Land Rover Freelander uses the brakes to simulate the function of a low-ratio gearbox in steep descents by introducing a button for that company's hill descent control feature.
