What are the reasons why the transmission cannot engage reverse gear?
1 Answers
1. The following are the reasons why the transmission cannot engage reverse gear: 1. Automatic transmission: The inability to shift gears in an automatic transmission may be caused by internal failure of the gearshift assembly, malfunction of the internal control module, or failure of the transmission's gear position switch. 2. Manual transmission: The inability to shift gears in a manual transmission may be due to failure of components in the clutch system, such as the release bearing, friction disc, or pressure plate. It could also be caused by a malfunction in the gearshift assembly. 2. The following are common faults of the transmission: 1. Oil leakage: Oil seeping from the transmission housing or oil pan may be due to aging or poor sealing of the gaskets, or poor manufacturing quality resulting in sand holes in the housing. 2. Engine stalling when engaging gear: Stalling when shifting into D or R may be caused by a faulty lock-up solenoid valve or a stuck lock-up control valve. 3. Locked gear: Incorrect input or output signals from the transmission, or poor condition of components or wiring, can cause this issue. Sometimes, communication problems between the transmission computer and other system computers can also lead to this. 4. No response when engaging gear: After shifting into D or R and releasing the brake, the vehicle does not move. This is often due to damage to the input shaft or reverse clutch, or failure of the D/R brake. 5. Abnormal noise: Unusual sounds from the transmission area while driving are usually caused by worn parts or improper installation of the transmission.
