Entail run being organised without having chosen gear (2,7)

I believe the answer is:

in neutral

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'without having chosen gear' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'entail run being organised' is the wordplay.
'being organised' indicates an anagram.
'entail'+'run'='entailrun'
'entailrun' with letters rearranged gives 'IN NEUTRAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for in neutral that I've seen is " out of gear".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
