How to use gearshift in a sentence?

1. Hennepin County Judge Regina Chu:

   I went around Officer Luckey as they're trying to get back in the door. I'm between the door and Officer Luckey ... and the driver's getting into the car ... They're still struggling. And I can see Sgt. Johnson and the driver struggling over the gearshift because I can see Johnson's hand, and then I can see his face ... He had a look of fear on his face, we were trying to keep him from driving away. It just went chaotic. And then I remember yelling, 'Taser, Taser, Taser.'.
