You're thinking about it wrong. Forward IS down. Forward is relative to the plane on which the lever/switch is placed. So for the shifter, forward is forward. On the steering wheel, forward is up. Think push=down, pull=up. Same in aircraft, every piece of construction equipment, every mechanical or hydraulic control ever. Every joystick control ever.But it's not just the trans. shifter, it's the steering wheel controls too! Up goes down in the menu, down goes up. It's dyslexic!
I don't buy Lite Brite's idea at all. It's a Jeep made for the consumer market, it should be intuitive. Down should be down. Up should be up.
The shifter is correct!
It's not like an old auto trans position shifter, it's like a high performance ratchet shifter. That is what lite brite was referring to and she's correct.
