question about shifting

I have a feeling this question has already been asked, but i want to know the answer without having to search the forums. With the righthand steering, how is the shifting? is it like the US cars or is it the opposite. your answer would be appreciated-thanx

The gears are all in the same place with 1st on the left and 5th on the right...

yup, the gate pattern is the same. the clutch is on the left. your just sitting on the right side.
