What Causes a Car Gear to Get Stuck?
1 Answers
The reasons for a car gear getting stuck are as follows: 1. Malfunction in the gear lever assembly: Excessive wear of the internal gears in the gear lever causes it to get stuck, making it difficult to move forward or backward. 2. Faulty solenoid valve: The P-gear lock solenoid valve inside the gear lever or the brake switch may be faulty. 3. Incomplete clutch disengagement: This could be due to issues with the clutch disc or pressure plate, typically requiring the replacement of the clutch three-piece set. Precautions for driving an automatic car: 1. Avoid coasting in N-gear: When driving an automatic car, do not coast in N-gear. Some drivers also habitually coast without engaging any gear in manual cars, primarily to save fuel. However, this is different for automatic cars. Prolonged use of N-gear does not save fuel and may lead to insufficient oil supply to the transmission during coasting, resulting in severe consequences such as loss of vehicle control and major traffic accidents. 2. Parking method: After positioning the car in the parking spot, hold the brake, shift the gear lever to N-gear, engage the handbrake, release the foot brake, turn off the engine, and finally shift the gear lever to P-gear.
