Late run changing gear (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neutral

'gear' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'late run changing' is the wordplay.
'changing' indicates an anagram.
'late'+'run'='laterun'
'laterun' with letters rearranged gives 'NEUTRAL'.

(Other definitions for neutral that I've seen before include "Taking neither side" , "Having no personal preference" , "uncommitted to either side" , "trying to keep out of the war" , "having no potential" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
