Gear Change is a Soviet support power available from the Industrial Plant. It immediately gives $3000 to the player upon activation, but forces all of their Industrial Plant and War Factories' crews to perform equipment maintenance that shuts them down for 60 seconds. As a result, it is only useful for emergency situations.

Deployed Stalin's Fists are not disabled by Gear Change, allowing Russian generals to get $3000 in regular intervals without penalty as long as the Stalin's Fist is operational. Furthermore, the production speed bonus from multiple War Factories is not disabled even though the War Factories themselves are disabled, so Russian generals can freely continue their vehicle production.

Note that although Gear Change also disables the Repair Drone support power, the Drakuv support power does not receive the same effect because it is deployed from the Field Bureau.
