I was an interior engineer early in my career. Everyone says "prindle" exactly like she did. I had multiple "prindle bezels" on my programs.

Came here to reinforce this. I work in automotive R&D, people call it the prindle all the time because especially now there are variations of the shifter in shape and mechanism.
