What Causes the Gear Lever to Suddenly Become Stuck?
1 Answers
The following are the specific reasons why the gear lever suddenly becomes stuck: 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 that requires a signal from the brake pedal to release. These two components are interconnected, and if either one fails, it can prevent the gear lever from being pushed out of P-gear to shift into other gears. 2. Internal failure of the gear lever assembly: Wear of the gears inside the gear lever can cause it to get stuck, making it difficult to move forward or backward, resulting in an inability to shift or difficulty in shifting. 3. Incomplete clutch disengagement: This may be caused by a failure of the clutch disc or clutch pressure plate, requiring replacement of the clutch three-piece set—friction disc, pressure plate, and release bearing.
