What to Do When a Manual Transmission Gets Stuck in Gear?

[WyattDella]

If the car's gear gets stuck while driving, you should first slow down, then press the clutch pedal and pull over to the side of the road to turn off the engine. Then, check whether the transmission, clutch, or other components have malfunctioned. If necessary, you can call for a tow truck to take the car to a repair shop for inspection. Here are the reasons why a gear may get stuck: 1. Principle: The principle of a manual transmission is very simple. There is a synchronizer inside the manual transmission, and there is a shift fork under the gear lever, which is connected to the synchronizer. When shifting gears, the synchronizer is used to select the gear. The shift fork controls the synchronizer, and the gear lever controls the shift fork. If there is a problem with the shift fork or synchronizer, it may cause the gear to get stuck. 2. During gear shifting: When shifting gears, you must ensure that the clutch is fully depressed; otherwise, the gear cannot be shifted. If there is a problem with the clutch pedal, even if the clutch pedal is fully depressed but the clutch is not completely disengaged, it may also cause the gear to get stuck.
