I have a 1999 Esprit V8 on its way to me. I know that reverse is down and to the left with a ring lift first. So are there 5 speeds after that or 6 (going forward of course) and is 1st speed up or down? Sorry for the dumb question but pictures of the car coming to me have a plain shifter with no id markings.
