So, having flown only the "G," what model did the gear handle stop reacting to system sequencing? The "G" is easy, up/down, nothing moving or in-between.

The original Skymaster thru model F had a mechanical gear handle that actuated the system
When Cessna built the G (1973) model it was changed to an electric motor to operate the hydraulic pump, therefore now the gear handle is just a mouse click
