What are the effects of water ingress in the automatic transmission lever position?

[LeCecilia]

The area below the gear lever is the shift mechanism, and the wiring is water-resistant, with connectors generally splash-proof, so there's no major issue. If concerned, you can visit a repair shop to disassemble and clean the interior. Below is relevant information: 1. Automatic Transmission: As the name suggests, an automatic transmission doesn't require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on speed and traffic conditions. Typically, automatic transmission vehicles have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. Fuel-saving Tips: When accelerating from a standstill, avoid flooring the accelerator, as this only increases RPM, causing engine roar and transmission wear, leading to unnecessary fuel waste. Instead, gently press the accelerator to utilize low-speed downshifting for increased torque and gradual, even acceleration. Once speed increases, you can accelerate further, resulting in smoother driving with an automatic transmission.
