What is a "stick shift"?
A stick shift is a type of transmission in a vehicle that requires the driver to manually change gears using a lever, often referred to as a gear stick. The driver operates the clutch with one foot while shifting the stick to select the appropriate gear for the speed or power needed. This system gives the driver more control over the vehicle’s performance but requires more skill and attention compared to automatic transmissions, which shift gears automatically. Stick shifts are often found in older cars and some performance vehicles.
