Bare with me on this one guys. I'm going to test drive a 94 with a 5 speed tomorrow. I've only driven a 6 speed till now. Can someone please tell me where reverse is located in the 5 speed shift pattern and is it a push down or pull up to access it? I just don't want to look totaly lost first shot out.

Thanks in advance!
 
R is where 6th gear usually is. Nothing special.

And in case you forget, just look below the shifter. It has a diagram there just like the 6 speeds do.
 
But there is a special sequence to engaging reverse. First you need to look in the mirror and adjust your hair. Next you need to tilt your head at 20 degrees and look back sideways. You have to all of this while pushing in the clutch and then moving the lever to the right and back towards the rear of the car. Of course all of this is done to look cool since you are in an NSX. :D

Don't worry. It's not as complicated as like an older Lamborghini where you need to slide a little lever to open the reverse gate and then push down on the shifter while moving it through the gate to the left. ;)
