French term or phrase: capot

Good morning proz'ers :)

I don’t think it is the hood we are talking about here, maybe simply “cover”?

la figure 3 est une vue en perspective du contrôleur de vitesses de la figure 1, dans laquelle le capot supérieur et le capot inférieur du contrôleur de vitesses ont été supprimés;

Thank you in advance

Gear lever cover(s)

Explanation:
This is the rubber or leather (if you've got a posh car) shroud which protects the base of the gear lever and stops any dirt getting in the works.

gear housing

Explanation:
Be sure nylon plug is at base of splines inside lower driveshaft. Apply gearcase oil to the splines at both ends of the intermediate driveshaft, and insert it into the lower driveshaft. Rotate shift rod head 90 degrees to port to provide clearance when installing upper gear housing.

. Align the upper gear housing fore and aft to make sure the driveshaft and water tube seat simultaneously, then set it onto the lower gearcase. As shift rod head appears inside exhaust opening, turn head forward to engage gUide pin. You may have to rotate the U-joint shaft Slightly to engage the driveshaft splines. Use hand pressure only to seat the housing.
