Q: Car not shifting gears
Car not shifting gears.
Sounds like it may be time for a new transmission. If it is a manual transmission there may be something wrong with the clutch. If it is an automatic transmission, I would have a mechanic from YourMechanic inspect your vehicle and make sure the shifter cable is working correctly if it is not broken. If it is in tact then, I would take it to the transmission repair shop and plan on having a new transmission put in it.
