    Is it up in the steering wheel or down on the floor?


    Floor on ours, up in my grandmother's.

    I have a stick shift so mine is in between the driver seat and passenger seat.

    Ours is a regular shift but that's about where I'd place ours too, but it's close enough to the floor. Makes damn sure you can't hope from the passenger seat to the driver's, one thing I'm not too fond of in newer cars.

    I still manage to do so, if I'm in a hurry to switch sides Wink

    Not with ours, I tried that once and it was a very painful experience.

    Mine is on the floor. Not sure why it is referred to as "floor" when it is not, but I have always heard the expression "four on the floor."

    It doesn't appear to be on the floor now with individual 'bucket' seats and that hump making a little shift lever right at your hand, whether 'stick' or automatic. But old cars & trucks with bench seats had about a yard long stick shift that actually went down to the floor. Even those that had 3 on the floor.

    Floor. For years I drove manual transmissions and then I got a truck with the shift on the steering column. For weeks after I first got it I caught myself reaching down for the shift.
