Jacksonville Manual Transmission Problems
Manual Transmission: Trouble Shifting Gears
Any of the following are common symptoms of a manual transmission or clutch problem:
- The clutch pedal will not move down.
- The
clutch pedal drops to the floor when you push on it. Even when the
pedal is depressed, the gears cannot be changed. This problem can
occur suddenly, or changing gears can become more difficult each time
you shift.
- The gear shift suddenly will not move, or it resists, as you push in the clutch pedal.
In
any of these situations, do not attempt to shift gears or force the
clutch pedal down. This automobile should be towed to your local
Jacksonville AAMCO auto repair shop for the Jacksonville AAMCO External
Diagnostic Service for manual transmission automobiles.
The problem could be caused by any of a number of possibilities, including:
- There
is an internal problem in the transmission if parts within the
transmission are worn or damaged
- The clutch linkage is binding
- The clutch cable is broken or disconnected
- There is no fluid or there is a leak in the hydraulic clutch circuit
- The clutch may not be disengaging

takes an expert to tell. Jacksonville AAMCO Center mechanics are the

Manual Transmission: Pops Out Of Gear
When
you press on, or let off the gas pedal, the gearshift jumps into the
neutral position, leaving the transmission out of gear. This problem
becomes more frequent over time.
This may
mean that the shift linkage needs to be adjusted, or that there is an
internal problem in the transmission. It takes an expert to tell.

is an internal problem in the transmission if parts within the
transmission are worn or damaged
