Gear Lever Loose? A Guide to Emergency Gear Linkage Repair in Malaysia

The Simple Part That Connects You to Your Gearbox

The Point of Failure: Bushings

    The Symptoms

      What to Do When the Linkage Fails

      • Engage the Parking Brake: Your first and most important action. If the car is stuck in Neutral or Drive, the parking brake is the only thing holding it in place.
      • Turn Off the Engine: Safely turn off the vehicle.
      • Don't Force the Lever: Forcing the gear lever will not help and may damage the selector mechanism inside the cabin.
      • Call for Roadside Repair: This is a classic roadside fix for a trained mechanic. A tow is often not necessary.
