Pedal modules of gearboxes consist of accelerator pedal, brake pedal and clutch pedal. The pedals, that is, the entirety of the pedals in a vehicle, enable the driver to accelerate, decelerate and change the driving stages. Automatic transmissions are not equipped with a clutch device. The position of the accelerator determines the opening of the throttle valve and thus the fuel-air mixture as well as the power output.

Pedal modules of gearboxes consist of accelerator pedal, brake pedal and clutch pedal. The pedals, that is, the entirety of the pedals in a vehicle, enable the driver to accelerate, decelerate and change the driving stages. Automatic transmissions are not equipped with a clutch device. The position of the accelerator determines the opening of the throttle valve and thus the fuel-air mixture as well as the power output. Instead of a mechanical connection, the accelerator pedal and throttle valve are now connected via sensors and the control unit. When the brake pedal is stepped, a force is applied which moves the brake cylinder hydraulically, and the starting friction of the brake disc and brake linings slows the vehicle down. The clutch between the motor shaft and the transmission shaft is used to separate the clutch and enable a shifting operation. Gear selector levers are used to select the transmission ratio of motor vehicles and commercial vehicles. Also the change of the direction of travel or the idle can be selected. From purely mechanical connections between gear selector levers, purely electrical connections developed in modern vehicles over the CAN bus of the vehicle. As an alternative to the shift lever in the center console, steering wheel circuits were attached to the pitman. Mechanical gear selector levers, as used from the 1940s to the 1970s, are also used as electronic shift shifters in manually shiftable automatic transmissions. Other designations for gear selector levers are selector levers, manual shift levers, shift levers, gear sticks, gear levers or gear selector switches.
