stick shift
Non-automatic gear selector
A stick shift is a manual transmission in a vehicle, or the lever used to operate it.
The driver selects gears by moving the stick and engaging a clutch pedal, unlike an automatic transmission that shifts on its own: I learned to drive on a stick shift.
Also called a manual or standard transmission.
