standard transmission
Clutch-pedal driving system
Standard transmission is another name for manual transmission—a vehicle gearbox that requires the driver to shift gears using a clutch pedal and gear lever.
The term reflects that manual was once the default: My first car had standard transmission.
Now largely replaced by "manual" as automatic transmissions have become the norm.
