gear selector
Drive mode chooser
A gear selector is the control in a vehicle that lets the driver choose between gears or drive modes—park, reverse, neutral, drive.
In cars with automatic transmissions, this is typically a lever, dial, or set of buttons on the console or steering column: She moved the gear selector into drive.
Manual transmissions use a gear lever or stick shift instead.
