The shifter moves forward and back, and the left cable moves back and forth. However, the right cable does not move, and it’s not engaging any gears. What could be the problem?
Hallo buddies,
If your automatic shifter moves freely but the car doesn’t change gears, it usually points to an issue with the shift linkage or the transmission.
I once had a similar issue with my manual transmission where the shifter moved but only one cable seemed to function properly. In my case, the problem was with the right shift cable not engaging any gears. I found that the cable was either stretched or had come loose from its connection. It could also be an issue with the shift linkage or the internal mechanism of the transmission itself. I had to replace the cable and check the linkage for proper adjustment. If you’re experiencing this issue, I recommend inspecting the shift cables for any damage or disconnection and ensuring that all connections are secure.
