On the other hand, Fortin and Mendeola transmissions are true sequentials due to the fact shifting takes place via a drum mechanism. And as you mentioned, neutral can not be had from any gear higher than 1st.
Not to be a pain in the a.s, only for the correct form.
Thanks for your superior understanding.
