@coolbean wanted to say that car manufacturers might be too cheap for gear indicators, but a lot of cars have digital ones already.
Maybe just that the average person would be confused by them and reject it?

@snacks apparently its that they typically need to use straight gears which are louder (whining sound) and have slightly more power loss
also given the weirdness around first gear its just a little annoying for stop and go traffic in the cities

@snacks so it seems its just an unhappy medium for normal cars (but makes motorcycles all the cooler)

@coolbean @snacks i dont know shit about cars. What if i wanted indestructible shitbox? 45 miles, tops. No transmission only one big gear. 12 cylinder or two cylinder. Can tow 10,000 pounds. Only uses sharp angles for the sheet metal so it can be repaired with a hammer and brake press. Brush guard. No A/C, but with one of those 50s window mounted swamp coolers
