Gearshift sound effects from inside the car and out. The clunk of a manual stick slotting home, and the bark from the exhaust as a fast gearbox bangs up through the ratios. Old classics with long, wobbly levers. Off-roaders crawling in low range. There's even a bicycle in here, its chain hopping between sprockets.

A gearshift is a small sound that carries a lot. Inside, it's the lever and the linkage, a clunk and a click that tell the audience someone's working the car hard. Outside, you hear it through the Exhaust, a short gap in the engine's pull and then the revs dropping into the next gear. Car libraries usually record the interior foley separately, so the shift sits alongside the Handbrake and Window controls from the same car. Chase scenes and driving games use plenty.
