Wonke amagama ensimbi yensimbi enamathiselwe emshinini wokuhambisa imoto—"induku yegiya," "i-lever yegiya," "i-gearshift," noma "i-shifter" -awukuhluka kwalezi zinkulumo. Igama layo elisemthethweni yi-transmission lever. Ku-gearbox ozishintshayo, i-lever efanayo yaziwa ngokuthi "isikhethi segiya," kanti i-shift lever ku-transmission eyenziwa ngesandla yaziwa ngokuthi "induku yegiya."
Indawo ejwayeleke kakhulu ye-gear stick iphakathi kwezihlalo zangaphambili zemoto, kungaba ku-centre console, ku-transmission tunnel, noma phansi ngqo. Ngenxa yomgomo we-shift-by-wire, i-lever ezimotweni ezishintshayo zisebenza njengesikhethi segiya futhi, ezimotweni ezintsha, asikho isidingo sokuba noxhumo olushintshayo. Iphinde ibe nenzuzo yokuvumela isihlalo esingaphambili sebhentshi esinobubanzi obugcwele. Kamuva ayisekho ekudumeni, kodwa isengatholakala emalolini amaningi, amaveni, nasezimotweni zezimo eziphuthumayo emakethe yaseNyakatho Melika.
Kwezinye izimoto zesimanje zemidlalo, isishicileli segiya sesithathelwe indawo ngokuphelele "ama-paddles," okungama-lever abekwe nhlangothi zombili zekholomu yokuqondisa, ngokuvamile asebenzisa amaswishi kagesi (kunokuba axhumeke ngomshini ku-gearbox), nenye. enyusa amagiya aye phezulu elinye phansi. Ngaphambi komkhuba wamanje wokufaka "ama-paddles" esondweni (elikhishiwe) ngokwalo, izimoto zeFormula One zazifihla induku yegiya ngemuva kwesiteringi ngaphakathi kwekhala.
