What Causes the MG 6 to Not Move When in Gear?

The MG 6 does not move when in gear due to issues such as a faulty gear shifting mechanism or deteriorated transmission fluid. The specific causes and solutions are as follows: Faulty Gear Shifting Mechanism: The gear shifting mechanism is located inside below the gear lever. It detects gear position information and transmits it to the transmission control unit. If the gear position information cannot be transmitted to the transmission control unit through the shifting mechanism, the vehicle will not move even when in gear. The solution is to replace the gear shifting mechanism. Deteriorated Transmission Fluid: Transmission fluid primarily facilitates power transfer between the transmission and the engine, extending the transmission's service life. After prolonged use, the transmission fluid deteriorates, impairing the transmission's ability to regulate oil pressure, resulting in the vehicle not moving when in gear. The solution is to replace the transmission fluid.

My friend just encountered the issue where the MG6 wouldn't move after shifting gears. The most likely causes are either dirty transmission fluid or insufficient oil pressure, preventing the clutch from engaging with the power. Cars with electronic gear shifters are particularly prone to poor contact in the gear lever position sensor, which can prevent the system from receiving shift commands. Additionally, after shifting gears, pay attention to whether there's a slight vibration in the car body. If there is, it indicates that the engine's power transmission has been interrupted, and it's most likely a problem with the dual-clutch module. I recommend first checking if the shift cable is loose or broken. If there's smoke from the exhaust pipe accompanied by a burning smell, it's almost certainly the clutch plate that's burnt out. If you can't figure it out, it's best to tow it to a 4S shop to read the fault codes with a diagnostic tool. Trying to fix it yourself could easily damage the solenoid valves.

Three common reasons why a manual MG6 won't move when in gear: Clutch slippage is the most critical issue, especially during prolonged half-clutch operation in city traffic jams, which can prematurely wear out the clutch trio components. Secondly, gear linkage detachment isn't uncommon either - last time my car couldn't engage 3rd gear due to aged fasteners. Automatic transmissions are more complex - a TCU control module glitch can trigger transmission lockout protection, or overheated fluid may activate safety protocols. Always check the brake light switch; if faulty, it prevents transmission unlocking. Modified performance cars require extra caution as stock clutches can't handle excessive engine torque.

Don't panic if the car won't move when shifting gears, it's likely a mechanical issue. For manual transmissions, focus on checking if the clutch master cylinder is leaking - if the pedal feels spongy when pressed, that's the culprit. Gear teeth breakage in the transmission is rare but does happen; be alert if you hear metal grinding noises. For automatic transmissions, first check the dashboard for warning lights - the transmission may enter emergency mode and limit gear selection. Another easily overlooked issue is brake signal conflict; incomplete brake release can also restrict power output. Tire lock-up is uncommon, but in models with electronic parking brakes, seized calipers failing to retract can lock the wheels.
