A shift stick or simply stick is also known as a manual transmission, manual gearbox, a standard transmission, etc.
In a manual transmission vehicle, the driver literally uses a stick to change gears.
It is a type of transmission used in motor vehicle applications. It uses a driver-operated clutch, usually engaged and disengaged by a foot pedal or hand lever, for regulating torque transfer from the engine to the transmission; and a gear selector that can be operated by hands.
A conventional 5- or 6-speed manual transmission is often the standard equipment in a modern base model vehicle. With 5- speed being common on lower-end vehicles and commercial vehicles.
Higher-end vehicles, such as sports cars and luxury cars are often usually equipped with a 6-speed transmission for the base model.
Other options include automatic transmissions such as a traditional automatic (hydraulic planetary) transmission (often a manumatic), an automated manual transmission, or a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
The number of forwarding gear ratios is often expressed for automatic transmissions as well (e.g., 9-speed automatic).
