What Causes the Car Gear Shift to Be Stuck?

[VanCassandra]

Here are the specific reasons why the gear shift lever cannot be moved: 1. P-gear lock solenoid valve failure: To prevent accidentally shifting into other gears when starting the vehicle, there is a P-gear solenoid valve. The solenoid valve needs to receive a signal from the brake pedal to release. These two components are interrelated, and if either one fails, it will prevent the gear shift lever from being moved out of P-gear into other gears. 2. Internal failure of the gear shift lever assembly: Wear of the internal gears in the gear shift lever can cause the lever to get stuck, making it difficult to move forward or backward, resulting in the inability to shift gears or difficulty in shifting. 3. Incomplete clutch disengagement: This may be caused by failure of the clutch disc and clutch pressure plate, requiring replacement of the clutch three-piece set—friction disc, pressure plate, and release bearing.
