Auto shaft, informally (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cam

(Other definitions for cam that I've seen before include "Runner" , "University city's river" , "Projection on a rotating shaft in contact with another part" , "English river" , "Eccentric contrivance" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
