Why can't a Volkswagen shift gears?
1 Answers
Volkswagen's inability to shift gears is related to the clutch and gear lever. The following are the specific reasons for Volkswagen's inability to shift gears: 1. Gear lever: It may be that the positioning parts of the gear lever's positioning ball head have failed, allowing the gear lever to rotate freely around its own axis and making it impossible to accurately control the gear position; or it may be that the spherical working surface at the lower end of the gear lever has worn off, preventing the gear lever from controlling the fork or the slot of the shifting head, making both gear engagement and disengagement impossible. For the former, the fault can be eliminated through repair; for the latter, the gear lever must be replaced. 2. Clutch: It may be that the clutch cannot fully disengage, while the gear shifting mechanism of the transmission is working normally. This fault can be eliminated by adjusting the clutch or replacing some clutch parts to ensure the clutch has appropriate free play and separation clearance. 3. Shift fork: It may be that the shift fork is loose, severely bent, deformed, or worn. In this case, the movement of the gear lever has reached its position, but the movement of the shift fork has not, causing severe impact and the inability to engage the gear. In this situation, the transmission cover should be opened for inspection and repair, and the shift fork should be replaced if necessary.
