4 Speed Confusion

Just bought a 65 galaxie with 352 or 390(not sure), and 4 speed in the floor. (originally had 6 cyl and 3 speed on the column)
My confusion is the shift pattern...
its like this;


R---1---4
H
----2---3

3rd & 4th is reversed somehow.
That is so wrong, but thats how it shifts.

what has someone done?

Old thread but I reply anyways. First of all I have never seen one like that. But I guess anything can happen. My guess is that someone put in the control arm on the 3rd and 4th gear upside down?

Hi, hxgaser,Yeah, Old thread, Just can't resist it....You are so right about the shift lever upside down......See Ya, Clay,,
