How to Unlock a Stuck Automatic Transmission P Gear?
1 Answers
Correct unlocking methods are as follows: Method 1: Release the brake pedal, press it again, and then attempt to shift gears. Method 2: Slightly turn the steering wheel, then attempt to shift gears. Method 3: Restart the ignition, press the brake once more, and then attempt to shift gears. Method 4: Open the hood, disconnect the battery, and then reconnect it. Restart the ignition, press the brake again, and then attempt to shift gears. Below are the reasons for the P gear getting stuck: The P gear gets stuck because when parking, the gear is first shifted into P, and then the brake pedal is released. If the road has a slope (which can vary in size, and different vehicles have varying sensitivities to slopes), the vehicle may slightly slide backward (or downward) due to its own weight. During this process, the gap in the P gear lock teeth is automatically eliminated. As a result, when starting again, the gear lever cannot be moved from the P position. In such cases, do not forcefully pull or yank the gear lever.
