What to Do When the Automatic Transmission P Gear Won't Release?
1 Answers
Here are the solutions when the automatic transmission P gear won't release: 1. Start the vehicle first, then shift to other gears; 2. Press the brake pedal before switching gears. Always ensure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before engaging the P gear to prevent this issue. With technological advancements, transmissions have evolved from manual to automatic shifting, but automatic transmissions have specific requirements. Improper operation or forced gear shifting can easily damage the transmission. The working principle of the automatic P gear is that when the gear lever is in the P position, the parking lock mechanism locks the transmission output shaft, partially locking the driveshaft inside the transmission. On level ground, the vehicle will have braking force even without pressing the brake pedal.
