  Scott, you always mention this....oddness...of the 5sp...but it's really
a 4sp with a granny 1st.   All 5sps are a bit strange, I guess compared to
a 4 sp..I have 3 different 5sp vehicle types and they all use a different
lay-out.   I find the Ford Powerstrokes the strangest with reverse clear
over to the passenger side and back....
