Why wont your transmission shift while im driving?

Transmission won't shift while driving

Problem

The vehicle runs but there is no power applied to the wheels (no movement).

Potential causes:

- Transmission pump failure.

- Low transmission fluid level.

- Blockage in transmission fluid (dirty or foreign material stuck in the path).

- Faulty shift solenoids.

- Shift linkage disconnected.

- Damaged or bent shift fork.

- Worn clutch (manual transmission).

- Faulty transmission control module.

- Damaged transmission case or housing.

- Vehicle engine trouble.

Solution:

- Check the transmission fluid level and add more if needed.

- Inspect the transmission fluid for any contaminants.

- Have a mechanic inspect the transmission pump.

- Have a transmission specialist check shift solenoid functionality and replace if needed.

- If the problem persists, the clutch, shift fork, and/or transmission control module may need to be replaced or adjusted.
