Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-003992

Describing a gear selector or shifter mechanism that is mounted directly on the transmission tunnel or floor of a vehicle's cabin.

Many sports cars and manual transmission vehicles feature a floor-mounted shifter for a more direct and engaging driving experience.
