Car Dies When Put In Gear: 3 Reasons Explained!
Car Dies When Put In Gear: 3 Reasons Explained!. In this video I will talk about why your car dies when you put in gear. Here’s a detailed explanation: Low or leaking transmission fluid The gear sets in your car’s transmission are cooled and lubricated using the transmission fluid. When the fluid is low, the transmission components experience increased wear and tear. In the long run, they overheat, resulting in transmission failure, which may cause stalling. To fix this problem, begin by checking the transmission fluid levels (use your owner’s manual for the applicable procedure). If it is low, refill it with the recommended transmission fluid. Secondly, check for leaks in the transmission system. Have a professional mechanic check and repair/replace the leaking parts. Defective fuel pump A fuel pump plays a critical role in your car as it delivers fuel from the tank to the engine. A fuel pump can become defective due to several reasons, namely, the use of contaminated fuel, overheating, old age, dirt, and rust. All these reasons cause the fuel pump to fail to deliver adequate fuel to the engine. An inadequate fuel supply to the engine can lead to stalling under load, such as when the car is put in gear. The applicable fix for this problem is having an expert mechanic assess the problem and repair/replace the damaged fuel pump. The replacement cost averages $400 to $800, subject to change. Clogged fuel filter A clogged fuel filter results in an inadequate supply of fuel to the engine, which can cause stalling. Fuel filters prevent impurities such as dirt and contaminants from entering your car’s engine. With time, the filters can become clogged, resulting in an inadequate supply of fuel to the engine, which explains why your car dies when put in gear. In such a case, you can take your car to the local dealer to replace the fuel filter. Additionally, ensure that you replace the fuel filter as part of your car’s regular maintenance practices. Experts recommend doing this every 2-3 years (25,000 to 30,000 miles), however you may need to do it sooner depending on the quality of fuel you use, the terrain covered and driving habits.
