What are the reasons why BYD cannot engage the gear?
2 Answers
The reasons why BYD cannot engage the gear are as follows: 1. Clutch cable failure: Some manual transmission cars still use cables to control the clutch. The outer sheath of the cable is prone to cracking, resulting in difficulty shifting gears without the clutch. 2. Excessive gear self-locking force on the clutch side: This causes difficulty in shifting in and out of gears. 3. Clutch master cylinder failure: The clutch hydraulic master cylinder may experience pressure loss or oil leakage during use, leading to the phenomenon of being unable to shift gears when pressing the clutch.

Downshifting with a blip of the throttle: When downshifting, people often prefer to use a blip of the throttle with a single clutch on synchronized gears to achieve downshifting. However, this method can easily cause wear and premature damage to mechanical parts. Therefore, whether the car has a synchronizer or not, the method of double-clutching and a blip of the throttle should be used for downshifting. 2. Not coming to a complete stop: When the car has not completely stopped, the gears are still rotating forward. If the reverse gear is suddenly engaged, it can cause gear damage. In mild cases, it may only result in mechanical damage, but in severe cases, if the speed is too high, the car's inertia from the original speed may not have completely stopped, leading to a rollover situation.
Last time I drove my BYD to the supermarket, suddenly it wouldn't shift gears, and I was sweating with anxiety. Later, I found out that the brake signal wasn't being transmitted because the gear lock requires detecting the brake pedal being pressed to unlock. If the unlock button on the gear lever gets stuck and doesn't respond when pressed, you also won't be able to shift gears. Additionally, electronic gear shift module failure is a common issue; my friend's car had this module burned out, causing complete gear failure. Another time, I encountered a dead small battery, and the car went straight into protection mode, not allowing gear shifting. The most dangerous situation is when the gears inside the transmission get stuck—never force the gear lever in such cases. It's recommended to call a tow truck directly to the 4S shop; they have computers to detect specific fault codes. Always remember to push the gear lever fully into place after parking to avoid deformation of the shift cable under stress.
