Onke amagama entsimbi yentsimbi encanyathiselwe kuthumelo lwemoto- "intonga yegiya," "isixhobo sesixhobo," "i-gearshift," okanye "i-shifter" -ziintlobo ezahlukeneyo zala mabinzana. Igama layo elisemthethweni liyi-lever yokuhambisa. Kwibhokisi yegiya ezenzekelayo, i-lever enokuthelekiswa nayo yaziwa ngokuba "sisikhethi segiya," ngelixa i-shift lever kwi-transmission ye-manual yaziwa ngokuba yi "gear stick."
Eyona ndawo ixhaphakileyo yentonga yegiya iphakathi kwezihlalo ezingaphambili zemoto, nokuba kwicentre console, itonela yothumelo, okanye ngqo emgangathweni. Ngenxa yomgaqo-nkqubo we-shift-by-wire, i-lever kwiimoto zothumelo oluzenzekelayo zisebenza ngakumbi njengomkhethi wegiya kwaye, kwiimoto ezintsha, akukho mfuneko yokuba noqhagamshelo olutshintshayo. Ikwanayo nenzuzo yokuvumela isitulo esingaphambili sebhentshi ebanzi ngokubanzi. Iphumile ekudumeni, kodwa isafumaneka kwiilori ezininzi, iiveni, kunye nezithuthi zikaxakeka kwimarike yaseMntla Melika.
Kwezinye iimoto zemidlalo zanamhlanje, i-lever yegiya iye yatshintshwa ngokupheleleyo "yi-paddles," ezizimbini zeentambo ezibekwe macala omabini ekholamu yokulawula, zihlala zisebenza ngokutshintsha kombane (kunokuba kuqhagamshelo lomatshini kwibhokisi yegiya), enye. ukwandisa iigiya phezulu kunye nezinye phantsi. Phambi koqheliselo lwangoku lokufakela “amaphini okubhexa” kwivili lokuqhuba (elisusiweyo) ngokwalo, iimoto zeFormula One bezisetyenziselwa ukufihla intonga yegiya emva kwevili lokuqhuba ngaphakathi kwempumlo yomzimba.
