What is a "gearshift"?
A gearshift is a lever used to change the gears in a vehicle, helping control its speed and power. In manual transmission vehicles, the driver uses the gearshift to select different gears, while in automatic vehicles, the gearshift may simply be used to switch between settings like park, reverse, neutral, and drive. The gearshift ensures the engine operates efficiently by adjusting the vehicle's gear ratio according to the driving conditions.
