Are you sure about that? Manual gearboxes are almost all of the "constant mesh" type: https://www.mistertransmission.com/manual-transmission-constant-vs-sliding-mesh/
A driver from UK will feel weird when he goes to Germany and drive on the right side (looking from front).
Why would you be "looking from the front"? The car is on the right side of the road and the driver is on the left side of the car, from the driver's point of view. Nobody is looking from the front.
Huh, you're right. Last manual car I had had a nonsynchronous transmission, and I used the shop manual for that to understand how it worked. But I looked around, and it looks like nowadays almost everyone uses constant mesh.
What car was that? Must have been something of an antique, I'd have thought. Even on my 1961 Morris Minor, all the gears except 1st (and reverse) were constant mesh. 1st and reverse had straight teeth (spur gears), unlike all the others, which were helical. If I recall correctly, sliding gear "crash" boxes have to have spur gears, so that they can slide into engagement. Spur gears are inherently noisy, though.
He certainly would, because, looking from the front, he should be on the left. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
yes, while sitting on the driver's seat, UK's position is on the right-hand, US is on the left hand. I am left-handed, I use my left hand to handle the gear-stick. Malaysia, Singapore , Brunei follow british standard, driver on the right,
