Why Won't My Car Go Into Gear?
There are a few reasons why your car might not be going into gear. It could be something as simple as low transmission fluid or a dirty filter. In some cases, it could be a more serious issue like a worn clutch or damaged gears. Here are a few things to check if your car won't go into gear.
- Check the Transmission Fluid Level and Condition
- Check the Transmission Filter
- Inspect the Clutch Assembly
If the transmission fluid level is low, it might be preventing the parts from moving smoothly and could be causing the gears to bind. You should also check the condition of the transmission fluid. If it looks dark and murky, it needs to be replaced. A qualified technician can do this for you.
A clogged transmission filter can also prevent smooth shifting. Over time, the filter can get clogged with dirt and debris, which can restrict the flow of transmission fluid. The filter should be replaced every 30,000 miles or so to prevent this from happening.
If you have a manual transmission, the clutch assembly might need to be inspected. over time, the clutch disc can wear down, which will prevent the car from going into gear. A qualified technician can inspect the clutch assembly and let you know if it needs to be replaced.
