Nowadays, cars with automatic transmission are often chosen by many people because of their practicality in terms of shifting gears. As a result, the legs are not sore for driving in urban areas that are often jammed.

However, even if you use an automatic transmission, that doesn’t mean the transmission on an automatic car can’t be damaged.

Before your car’s transmission can’t shift gears, there are a number of characteristics or signs that can actually be observed first. Observing this will prevent your car from getting much more severe damage.

Reporting from the Suzuki page, here are the signs that you can look out for when the automatic car transmission cannot change gears.

Car jerks when shifting gears

The first characteristic is the appearance of a jolt in the car even though you have just shifted gears. In fact, a normal transmission should provide a smooth or at least not too pronounced gearshift.

So, if it turns out to be a rough jolt or like there is a hard push on the car, then this can be a sign of damage to the automatic transmission. Avoid delaying going to the repair shop if you feel these signs.

Car Feels Vibrating Fast

Due to combustion in the engine and friction between components, a strong vibration occurs. However, thanks to the vibration damper in the engine, passengers will not feel these vibrations from inside the car cabin.

If the vibration feels hard in the car cabin, it means that something is broken from the damping system or it could be due to a problematic transmission. Especially if the vibration is more felt coming from under the car.

The appearance of this vibration is caused by friction of a worn clutch and must be replaced. So, immediately take your car to the repair shop if the car starts vibrating loudly.

Difficult to Move Lever

Automatic car transmissions that don’t want to shift gears are also marked with a lever that can’t be moved. As a result, you will find it difficult to switch to parking mode or another gear.

If this sign appears, then the cause could be the brake switch. You can try to check by stepping a little on the brake pedal. If the transmission does not want to be moved even though you have stepped on the brake pedal, it means that there is a problem with the brake switch.

Gearshift Not Following Lever

The thing that is quite dangerous is when the automatic car transmission does not want to shift gears even though the lever has moved already. This means that the problem with the transmission system is quite severe and a check on the gearbox must be carried out immediately.

When the gearbox cable has a problem, this is usually a sign that will happen. Replacement or repair of cables must be done.

Those are the signs of an automatic car automatic transmission that doesn’t want to change gears. If you have felt these four signs, then don’t let your automatic car stay for too long in those conditions. Hurry up to visit the repair shop for further inspection.
