Clarification of my thoughts - You push the shift lever forward to engage reverse - on our '81 240D, and I think the column shift 220D was up, so the rod at the other end of the center pivoted shift lever will move in the opposite direction - towards the rear of the car. SO it now depends on whether the arm on the tranny shaft is pointed up or down - if up, then engaging reverse will rotate the shaft clockwise, if down, it will rotate counter-clockwise. I'm seeing it pointing up by memory, but then I've never had to pay close attention to it, so don't trust my memory on this point. Either way, there are only two choices though ---
