or draw it on the back of your hand so you can see it when you're changing gears.... if you like it, then you can get it tattooed 😉

Must have been an accessory as I have never seen one.... back in the 50's & 60's most cars had the shift pattern inscribed into the knob... Volkswagen.. with their unique shift pattern ... never did... until the knob was removed from the ashtray in late 1967 and the gearshift pattern was placed there..
