Just noticed couple of days ago when I was watching this #25R onboard videoclip from Suzuka, it has been listed the Ultimate Video Clips-Thread.

Anyway, have anyone else notized that the #25R's gearbox is working different way than the others which onboard videos I have been seen, for example the Monza clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNEjlCs_NcM
25R- The driver changes down pushing gearstick forward. And changing higher gear pull the gearstick back.
The Monza clip it hapens other way round, up-> forward, down->back.
I started to think about this, has the 25R's gearbox sometime broken totally and it has been rebuilt after that and it changed during the repairing?
Or has it an orginal gearbox?
If it is, why it works other way round than the others?
Did the "Teams" have change to affect the gearbox when the car was built before the season?
I'm very interested this.
Thank you for the answers!

Hi Sami,
On the 97GTR the gear selection patern on the sequential box had two options.
Option 1, Back to go up the box, forward to go down.
Option 2, Forward to go up the box, back to go down.
This is achieved by changing the driver gear change lever
One has the linkage pivot below the pivot centre line, the other above. Thus changing the way the driver selects the gears.
I have pics of the two options fitted in 24R, but not on this lap top :banghead:
