What Causes Difficulty in Shifting Gears in a Manual Car?

[DeRebecca]

Manual cars may experience difficulty in shifting gears due to the following reasons: P-lock solenoid malfunction: 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 interconnected, and if either one malfunctions, it will prevent the gear lever from being pushed out of the P-gear to shift into other gears. Gear lever assembly failure: Internal gear wear within the gear lever can cause the lever to get stuck, making it difficult to pull back and forth, resulting in the inability to shift gears or difficulty in shifting.
