more modern automatic transmissions have employed a "j-gate" (pioneered by jaguar) where some gears are on the left-hand "arm", some on the right, and there is a sideways movement at the rear of the pattern. the second generation range rover from 1995 used an "h-gate", with two parallel prnd gates on the opposing legs of the "h" for both high range and low range ratios, for normal and off-road driving, respectively.
