What is wrong when its hard to put the car in gear?

* Low transmission fluid: Transmission fluid is what lubricates the gears in your transmission and helps them move smoothly. If your transmission fluid is low, it can make it difficult to shift gears.

* Dirty transmission fluid: Dirty transmission fluid can also make it difficult to shift gears. The dirt and debris in the fluid can clog up the passages and prevent the fluid from flowing properly.

* Worn-out synchronizers: Synchronizers are small parts in the transmission that help to align the gears so they can mesh smoothly. If your synchronizers are worn out, it can make it difficult to shift gears.

* Bent or damaged shift linkage: The shift linkage is the part of the transmission that connects the shifter to the transmission. If the shift linkage is bent or damaged, it can make it difficult to move the shifter and shift gears.

* Faulty shift cable: The shift cable is the part of the transmission that connects the shifter to the transmission. If the shift cable is faulty, it can make it difficult to move the shifter and shift gears.
