shift lever
Manual gear selector
A shift lever is the handle or stick used to change gears in a vehicle.
In cars with manual transmission, the shift lever moves through a pattern to engage different gears; in automatics, it selects park, reverse, neutral, or drive.
Also called a gear lever or gearshift.
