Depends on country If car is a Left ****** like the US (I.e mainland Europe) - they are the same side as the US If its a UK right hand drive the Column shifter is on the left side of the column
I've never seen one that has a shifter on the left side,but i've never seen an UK car with column shifter..
Column shift is allways to the centre of the car, that,s so that you can allways hang your elbow uninterupted out the window and look cool.
