What Are the Reasons for a Manual Transmission Car Not Engaging Gear After Starting?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons why a manual transmission car may not engage gear after starting: Clutch disc not fully disengaged: When starting the car, even after pressing the clutch pedal all the way down, you may still find it difficult to engage gear, or if you force it into gear, the car moves forward without lifting the pedal or the engine stalls. Solution: Adjust the clutch at a repair shop. Pressure plate damage: If the clutch disc or clutch pressure plate is damaged, when starting and lifting the clutch, you may feel unevenness, the car may jerk forward or backward, and the pressure plate may feel rough when pressing or lifting the clutch. Solution: Replace the clutch friction disc with a new one.
