Yep, wouldn't have been the motivation to launch rockets into space and put people on the moon. Or have tanks be able to keep their barrels at a specific angle of elevation while racing through fields at 70kmh to stop an advance.

My gf asked me an interesting question. Question was, when I drive my car, do I think about what gear I am in? I had to think for lil bit and I had to actually drive to answer that question.
My answer was no. I only look at RPM and MPH once a while. When RPM goes up, I just shifts up to next gear & don't really think about which gear I am in. I look MPH once a while to make sure I'm not speeding too much, but that's pretty much it. Maybe I'm thinking which gear I am without knowing. IDK... either way, I can tell which gear I am in when I grab the shifter, but don't really think to myself that "oh, I'm in 3rd gear, so I'll go up to 4th gear" How bout you guys? Do you guys think which gear you're in when you're driving? |

You should train her to drive stick without the gearshift indicator or even the need to look at the tach for starters (remember the old cheapo Civic DX manual didn't even have a tach), that should improve her senses. To me the indicator is just telling me if everything is in good working order or not, and not as a reminder of which gear I'm in (except for reverse). |

I have to actively pay attention to what I am doing to even discuss the act of shifting on here. Couldn't tell you what the tach says for each of my shifts since I never ever even look at it and my shift points vary with the type of driving I am doing at that point anyway. It might as well not exist for all I use it for driving. I just drive with no more thought given to shifting than I give to braking or steering.
