That's quite a weird analogy, being raised with the still ubiquitious manual shift gearsboxes of german cars, i still need about two minutes to figure out modern cars with automatic shift every time I rent a new model, OK I learned that break on N thing pretty soon, but still. This adaptation process goes both ways. The true assembler equivalent candidate for gearboxes is the infamous "Zwischengas" or double clutch on unsynchronised manual transmissions.
