A toggle would be good.
Cars with automatic gears are more efficient than manual ones. I fear a fake manual gear system would decrease efficiency, so it may be best to disable it.
It doesn't decrease efficiency since it isn't a transmission! They probably just gradually reduce torque once you reach a certain speed in a given gear. The electric motor doesn't car about that.
