I have never had a problem with shift patterns without directions... For reverse you always have to depress the stick so a minute or two fiddling when you first get in soon gets you familiar with the shift pattern.
These days you have to deal with "common sense " and it's not very common anymore so cops need to inforce these rules for the stupid people and the ones that are looking for a payout when their lawer says blame the gear knob it didn't tell you where reverse was!!!
