gear knob
Manual transmission handle
A gear knob is the handle on top of a manual transmission's gear lever, gripped when shifting between gears.
It's the British term for what Americans typically call a shift knob or gear shift knob.
Gear knobs range from simple factory-installed plastic to aftermarket versions in leather, wood, or metal that drivers install for better grip or aesthetics.
