Gear Stick

A gear stick is the device is used to change gear; in a manual transmission vehicle this will normally be done whilst depressing the clutch pedal with the left foot to disengage the engine from the drivetrain and wheels. Automatic transmission vehicles, robotised manuals, and those with continuously variable transmission gearboxes, do not require a clutch pedal.

Famous quotes containing the words gear and/or stick:

    But Lord, remember me and mine
    Wi’ mercies temporal and divine!

    that stick into me.
