What to Do When a Manual Transmission Car Cannot Shift Gears After Starting?
1 Answers
Adjust the gear shift mechanism; if that doesn't work, the transmission may need repair, and it's recommended to take it to a repair shop. Here is more information about manual transmission shifting: 1. Reasons for inability to shift gears: no fuel, dead battery, incorrect gear position, fuel quality issues, lack of antifreeze, P-lock solenoid valve failure, internal failure of the gear shift lever assembly, incomplete clutch disengagement. 2. Shifting techniques: Always depress the clutch pedal fully before shifting; operate the gear shift lever gently, quickly, smoothly, and accurately; master the timing of shifting, avoid skipping gears, and downshift according to speed; shifting actions should be continuous, the clutch should be fully depressed in one motion, and gear engagement should be done in one step.
