Does accidentally shifting into P gear at slow speed affect the car?
1 Answers
Accidentally shifting into P gear at slow speed can affect the car and may damage the transmission. If you hear a clicking sound, it is the sound of the transmission's locking mechanism skipping teeth. Prolonged occurrence of this situation can lead to the locking mechanism breaking. Do not shift gears arbitrarily when the car is not completely stationary. If you accidentally shift into P gear, simply switch the gear to neutral in time to avoid causing excessive damage to the transmission. The working principle of P gear is to lock the transmission output shaft, restricting the transmission of the output shaft to prevent the car from moving. Therefore, P gear should only be used after the car has come to a complete stop. When waiting at a red light, it is better to use neutral gear.
