Transmission Does Not Shift into One Gear




Transmission Does Not Shift into One Gear

Diagnostic Aids

When the manual transmission will not transmit power from the engine to the wheels and one gear will not shift, it is possible that the gear is stripped. You should also perform a static shift and dynamic shift test. If the transmission will not shift in all gears, it is possible the input or countershaft gears are stripped or there is a broken input or output shaft. Sometimes the transmission shift control may not be operating properly.
