Dog-leg gearbox
Manual transmission shift pattern / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Dog clutch or Sequential manual transmission.
A dog-leg gearbox or dogleg gearbox is a manual transmission shift pattern distinguished by an up-over-up shift between first and second gear.[1] The layout derives its name from a dog's hind leg, with its sharp angles. Dog leg gearboxes were replaced in most mass production vehicles by transmissions with a standard gear layout. Most modern manual performance cars have six-speed gearboxes, which are unsuited to the dog-leg layout.
