Transmission Locked in One GearDiagnostic Aids
If the transmission is locked, engaging the clutch will stall the engine. If the shift control components and the clutch system operations are working properly, the condition is caused by internal damage, such as a dented or damaged shift fork. The transmission must be removed from the vehicle for repairs. You should perform a static shift test and a dynamic shift test before removing the transmission from the vehicle.
