Gear Levers & Gaitors

A gear lever allows a driver to send commands to the transmission system of a vehicle to change gear when the vehicle is in motion, and gaiters are there to protect them. Find cheap replacement parts with Car Parts 4 Less.

A gear lever or gearstick works in tandem with the clutch to give the driver full control of the transmission system of a vehicle. When the clutch is pressed, the flywheel is disengaged from the engine and the gearstick can be operated to move the system through the gears. The lever itself can become stiff or damaged over time if the proper lubricants wear off and stop protecting it. The gear gaiter, also known as the gear knob, is there to act as a cover to stop said lubricants from depleting. If the gaiter was missing, the gearstick would be exposed and would age quicker as a result. Levers and gaiters are also there to improve the aesthetics of a vehicle’s interior, which is why we stock a wide range to give drivers choices over how their vehicles look on the inside.
