Reasons Why the Automatic Transmission Gear Lever Cannot Be Pulled in P Position

[MadelineAnn]

When the automatic transmission gear lever cannot be pulled in the P position, it is because after engaging the P gear, the pull wire drives the connecting ball pin, and at this time, the working pin slides to make the locking pin pawl tightly engage the parking gear, thus locking the vehicle's gear shift and making the gear lever unmovable. Additional Information: Working Principle: When the gear lever is in the P position, the parking lock mechanism locks the transmission output shaft. In the P position, the drive shaft is partially locked inside the transmission, so even without pressing the brake on flat ground, the vehicle still has a certain braking force. Solution: Press the brake pedal and then switch gears. When parking, always ensure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before engaging the P gear; otherwise, it is easy to encounter this situation where the gear lever cannot be pulled in the P position.
