1 Answers
If the gear suddenly becomes loose and can't engage, here are the solutions: Solution: If all gears are difficult to engage, it is likely a clutch issue. In this case, take the car to a repair shop to adjust the clutch. If only certain gears are hard to engage, it may be a problem with the linkage between the gear lever and the transmission's shifting mechanism. First, try adjusting the shift control mechanism. If that doesn’t work, the transmission may need repair, and it’s recommended to visit a repair shop. Manual Transmission Shifting Tips: Upshift after accelerating, downshift after decelerating: For manual transmission cars, remember the principle of "upshift after accelerating, downshift after decelerating"; Timing the shift: Generally, downshift when the engine speed drops below around 1500 RPM.
