HHTEL The gear lever is for changing gear. It connects to the gear box. It is not a stick shift which to me is a piece of wood.
Woke up this morning breathing that's a good start to the day.

When I was a kid our horse and cart had a stick shift. The stick did have a length of leather on the end of it, but it sure made the old nag shift! :shock:

I think you must have me confused with someone else. I've not mentioned a stick shift which is of course an Americanism.

I'm British and know exactly what a gear lever is as well as a gear box. I trained as a mechanic many many years ago and although I've forgotten most of it, I do remember the basics!
