My Almeras had nothing between the forward gears and reverse, never came close to catching it by accident. My mother nearly killed my old Corsa by going from 4th to 1st at quite a speed, however...

The Monza manual box has nothing to prevent it going into reverse ......

That's surprising. My Manta, which was of an age with a Monza, had a collar on the gear lever.

I've only ever sat in one Monza. It was brand new in a showroom just outside Pompey town centre, - the name will come eventually, but it was next door to Serckstat heat exchangers.

try constant-mesh  or better known as crash gearboxes. nearly like an automatic as you only use clutch for stopping and starting. can make a really swift gearchange after a bit of experience matching revs.
yep eaton twin split box is the best of them all done hundreds of thousands of miles with them!!!! :y
