Thank you. (In the same listing there was a "caja de velocidades", which was the "gear box" I got as the answer from some others. I do appreciate all input, however.) I believe you've helped me in the past. Thanks yet again!

gear system


Explanation:
Well, I'm not from Venezuela, and I can just about manage to point a car in the right direction, but as far as I can gather gear stick = palanca de cambios and gearbox = caja de cambios and gear system certainly exists. I imagine that it covers the entire system.
