Le levier de vitesse

Gearshift = gear stick in UK English. 'Gearshift' is an Americanism and your style sheet appears to be to provide a UK English translation followed by US English in square brackets. Similarly UK English would be to 'change gears' not to shift gears, to change into first gear etc.
