What are the symptoms of a faulty manual transmission shift mechanism?
1 Answers
The most direct symptom of a faulty shift mechanism is the inability to change gears normally or experiencing extreme difficulty when shifting. Below are the relevant details: 1. Car shift structure: It consists of the gear lever, cables, gear selection and shift structure, shift forks, and synchronizers. The gear lever facilitates control over the gears, engaging and disengaging them. The cables function to pull the gear position, enabling gear shifting. The gear selection and shift structure differentiate between gear engagement or gear changes. The shift forks and synchronizers are responsible for engaging and disengaging the gear teeth of each gear. 2. Requirements for the transmission control mechanism: After engaging a gear, it must ensure full engagement of the coupling sleeve with the coupling gear ring. Under conditions such as vibration, the control mechanism must prevent the transmission from engaging or disengaging gears on its own. For this purpose, a self-locking device is installed in the control mechanism. To prevent the transmission from jamming or being damaged by simultaneously engaging two gears, an interlock device is installed in the control mechanism. To prevent accidental engagement of reverse gear while the car is moving forward, which could lead to part damage, a reverse gear lock device is installed in the control mechanism.
