    Up and back.
    Reverse is up and forward.
    Second is down and forward, third is down and back.

    1--R

    3--2

    Looking at the end of the shifter from the passenger side.

    so since i bought the van, not only have i fought with a home made shift mech https://vintage-vans.forumotion.com/t34791-gearshift-lever - also the shift rods were mounted wrong ! - my 1 --r was on the pull down on lever action - oo3

    yes thank you dix and smiley for the nats parts express - i have the column in but i dont have something right yet - it is hanging up in the shifting and now i have play at the top at the steering wheel to column that i did not have before - so i dont have something together correctly - i can tell though that once i figure it out it will be a big improvement - oo3
