Transmission Locked in One Gear

Diagnostic Aids

If the transmission is locked, engaging the clutch will stop the engine. If the shift control components and the clutch system operations are operating 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 also perform a static shift test and dynamic shift test.
