Why can't the gear shift be moved from P position?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission P position locks the vehicle's gear shift. Below is relevant information about automatic transmissions: 1. The transmission has evolved from manual operation to automatic shifting: However, automatic transmission gears still have certain timing requirements. Improper operation (such as the automatic gear lever being stuck in P position) and forced gear shifting can easily damage the transmission. Let's look at how the automatic P position works: When the gear lever is in P position, the parking lock mechanism locks the transmission output shaft. In P position, the drive shaft is partially locked inside the transmission, so even without pressing the brake on flat ground, the vehicle still has some braking force. 2. Solution when the automatic gear lever is stuck in P position: To shift to other gears, first start the vehicle and then shift to other gears; or press the brake pedal before switching gears. When parking normally, always ensure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before shifting to P position, otherwise this situation of the gear lever being stuck in P position can easily occur.
