I would say the driver, no? The brain makes decisions at a higher level, and sends signals that releases hormones. Hormones are probably the transmission, changing the gears and the output force so that the engine can properly respond to the situation. I'm still confused what the wheels are, actually... Either way, this is probably a gross overanalysis.
Somebody should make an extended analogy game where two items are spuriously correlated and the correlations have to be extended to a larger system. Like the SAT, but more absurd.
Then again, some would say that the brain is often relegated to the back seat and the real driver is a bit closer to the engine. Of course, that would lead us back to hormones if we were to take it literally, making the engine the driver. That's a fearsome proposition, and luckily many men have good, or at least persistent, back seat drivers.
I personally drive a manual, which means that if the negotiations don't work out, or are timed poorly, I'll pop the clutch and stall, having to rethink the whole scenario before continuing.
I (literally) also drive a stick shift, and you get so much better control when you do things right! And there's nothing like zooming up a hill in second gear...

Unfortunately, I'm forced to agree.
