What Causes the Automatic Transmission Gear Shift to Get Stuck?

[Vernon]

Introduction to the reasons why the gear shift of an automatic transmission car gets stuck: 1. The internal assembly of the automatic transmission is faulty, requiring repair of the shift lever assembly. 2. The solenoid valve of the automatic transmission is faulty or the brake control is malfunctioning, necessitating replacement of the solenoid valve. When the gear shift gets stuck, do not force the shift lever. Generally, vehicles have 5 gears: P, R, N, D, and S. Below is an introduction to the related content: 1. P (Parking) - Parking gear, starting gear: When the vehicle is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, where the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. The vehicle must be completely stopped before using the P gear; otherwise, the mechanical parts of the automatic transmission may be damaged. 2. R (Reverse) - Reverse gear: Used when reversing. Never force the gear into the "R" position before the vehicle has completely stopped, as this can severely damage the transmission. 3. N (Neutral) - Neutral gear: Used when temporarily stopping (e.g., at a red light). This gear indicates neutral. To prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, always keep the brake pedal pressed. 4. D (Drive) - Forward gear: Used for normal driving on roads. 5. S (Sport) - Sport mode: When this gear is engaged, the gears can be freely switched, but the shifting timing is delayed to keep the engine at high RPM for a period, increasing the car's power. Using this gear will result in higher fuel consumption.
