What is Gear Slippage?

[SarahRose]

Automotive gear slippage primarily occurs due to wear, looseness, damage of transmission-related components, or improper adjustment of the fit clearance. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. The so-called gear slippage refers to the automatic return of the gear lever to the neutral position while the car is in motion, causing the sliding gear to disengage from its normal meshing position. 2. The reasons for gear slippage are analyzed as follows: (1) Wear, looseness, breakage, or loss of the gear lever positioning pin, resulting in loss of control and random swinging. (2) Corrosion failure of the gear shift fork shaft interlock device; excessive wear and looseness of the gear lever ball head. (3) The gears, gear rings, or gear sleeves become tapered due to wear along the tooth length direction, leading to disengagement under the axial force generated during operation.
