The old style were frictions shifters, meaning you could move them to any
position and had to feel your way into and out of each gear. Index shifters
"click" into each gear, giving you a finite shift from each gear to the
next.
I sometimes wonder if friction isn't really the best way to go, since it
requires so much less fine tuning.
