Could you please help me to understand the passage (what kind of bar? notches? gate?)
My old car had the gears as they used always to be in notches on a bar. In
this car you passed the gear-lever through a gate to get on the higher ones.

Answer

Hi. I think you're referring to what is called a "gate shifter." There are slots that you must follow with the stick shifter in order to change gears. Nowadays this is seen mostly on sports cars such as Ferrari, etc. I hope this helps you!
