    I was thinking it’d be cool to include dogleg gearboxes in the vehicle configurator that way it’s easy to switch between gearboxes without having to change the bindings each time. Cars with a regular gearbox would work normally and ones with doglegs would pick up 1st as reverse, 2nd as the 1st and so on. I don’t know how hard it would be to program or if it’s possible but it would be amazing and unique to this game. It would also be very comfortable like the way the game detects and discerns sequential from h-patten and other gearboxes.

    Personally I think that for the base game having it be dogleg gearbox parts would get confusing when switch between vehicles for most user.

    Now as for a mod I think it's great and there already are mods with this feature:
    - Gavril GPV Expansion: AFAIK the first mod to make a dogleg shifter part. works as an addition to the Gavril GPV mod(AKA WW2-era Jeep)
    - T-series Drivetrain Expansion: Builds on the code from the GPV expansion to add many custom transmissions to the T-series.

    Good point. I forgot about that one.
