OK, Two very different shift pads by Allison:
Those with ONE "gear window".
Those with TWO "gear windows".
If one gear window, it indicates the "pre-select" gear-- that is the gear TO WHICH the transmission will shift under ideal conditions. So consider "6" to be the same as "D" on your car.

If two windows, the left is the same as described above, with the right window being the actual gear you are in.
