Thanks!

To get from DRIVE to first, you ratchet to 3, then 2, then first gear, you cannot go directly to any lower gear without rathceting through the others first, that's whay it is a ratchet shifter. You only use the toggle to get out of PARK to N, R, or into D. To ratchet into or out of any of the forwrd gears the toggle isn't used. It does not shift like a manual where you can go from any gear to any other gear.

The OD button is a tactile button on the selector panel just above the PARK position. If you look at the photo from the drivers side you'll see the white button on the selector panel. I would like the OD better on the handle like the stock shifter, but you have to give a little to get everything else.
