Can a loose battery cable cause transmission problems?

Yes, a loose battery cable can cause transmission problems.

1. Shifting Problems

A loose battery cable can cause the transmission to not shift properly or to hesitate, resulting in hard or delayed shifts.

2. Stalling

If the battery cable is too loose, it can cause the electrical connection from the battery to the transmission to be lost, which can in turn cause the transmission stall.

3. Erratic Behavior

A loose battery cable can also cause the transmission to act erratically, including slipping out of gear or even shifting into neutral while driving.
