What Are the Reasons for Manual Transmission Failing to Engage Gear?
1 Answers
Manual transmission suddenly failing to engage gear can be caused by several reasons: P-gear lock solenoid valve failure; internal failure of the gear lever assembly, gear wear inside the shift lever; incomplete clutch disengagement; or transmission oil residue affecting operation. It is recommended that the owner go to a repair shop for inspection to rule out internal issues with the gear lever, or adjust the clutch and clean the residue from the transmission oil. P-gear lock solenoid valve failure: For safety reasons, to prevent the vehicle from accidentally shifting into other gears when starting, there is a P-gear solenoid valve. This solenoid valve needs to receive a signal from the brake pedal to release. Therefore, these two components are related, and if either one fails, it will prevent the shift lever from being pushed out of P-gear into other gears. Internal failure of the shift lever assembly: Gear wear inside the shift lever can cause the shift lever to get stuck, making it difficult to pull forward or backward, resulting in the inability to shift or difficulty in shifting. Incomplete clutch disengagement: This is usually caused by issues with the clutch disc and clutch pressure plate, generally requiring replacement of the clutch three-piece set (friction disc, pressure plate, and release bearing). Transmission oil residue: Residue in the transmission oil can also affect the gear shifting of a manual transmission car, necessitating inspection and replacement of the transmission oil at a 4S shop or repair shop.
