A faulty automatic transmission (automatic transmission) gear selector can lead to the following consequences:
Gear shifting problems:
* The transmission may get stuck in a certain gear and not shift to others.
* Gear shifts may be delayed or jerky.
* False neutral transmissions may occur.
Problems starting the engine:
* The engine may not start if the selector lever is not in Park or Neutral.
* The engine may start in park or neutral, which may cause the vehicle to move if the parking brake is not applied.
Security Issues:
* The vehicle may start to move when the selector is in the park position, which may result in a collision or accident.
* The vehicle may not shift into neutral for towing or push starting.
Other problems:
* Failure of speed sensors that depend on the position of the selector.
* Leakage of transmission fluid due to a leaky connection between the selector and automatic transmission.
*Damage to transmission components due to improper gear shifting.
