What is the difference between the 2 shift knobs on the dodge ram with manual transmission, my speed has in that order L 2 O
1 3 R
while others have the normal order 1 3 5
2 4 R
I thought it was a matter of ratios
grazie

1st-2nd-3rd-4th-5th-Reverse

Different gear ratios. The first pattern has a granny gear with no fourth and an overdrive. Sounds like a work truck trans. The second is just a standard 5 speed.

It's not a matter of one being better than the other, they just serve different purposes.

The first one would be better for a work truck or towing a trailer. The second one would better for towing and performance.
