How to Deal with a Stuck Gear in a Manual Transmission Car While Driving?

[LeHenry]

If the gear gets stuck while driving, you should first slow down, then press the clutch pedal and pull over to stop and turn off the engine. Next, check whether the transmission, clutch, etc., have malfunctioned. If necessary, you can call for a tow truck to take the car to a repair shop for inspection. Below are the reasons for a stuck gear: 1. The principle of a manual transmission is very simple. There is a synchronizer inside the manual transmission, and there is a shift fork under the gear lever, which is connected to the synchronizer. When shifting gears, the synchronizer is used to select the gear, the shift fork controls the synchronizer, and the gear lever controls the shift fork. If the shift fork or synchronizer has a problem, it may cause the gear to get stuck. 2. When shifting gears, you must ensure that the clutch is fully depressed; otherwise, you cannot shift gears. If there is a problem with the clutch pedal, even if the clutch pedal is fully depressed but the clutch is not completely disengaged, it can also cause the gear to get stuck.
