A relatively simple but very important element of gear shifting is the lever. Drivers constantly interact with him, driving the car. But, like any device, levers sometimes fail. As a result, the handle dangles, there is a knock, rattle, squeak in the process of moving the lever. The latter is regularly exerted by an effort. In certain situations, some breakdowns occur even on vehicles with low mileage.

Application of thick grease can be a temporary measure. It neutralizes the lever creak. The latter sometimes also signals the wear of a ball joint, or a spherical washer. If the gears are disengaged by themselves, it is advisable to check the springs. Often they simply jump off. Installing the spring in an unnecessary space will solve the problem. Lever repair often boils down to replacing items that are out of order. For this, a repair kit is ordered.

Most often, during operation, drivers state such problems as tight movement of the lever. It takes a lot of effort to implement the appropriate process. Levers can also become loose, and when shifting, there is often a squeak. In these cases, it is required to restore the operability of the gear shift element. Driving with a faulty lever is dangerous. In certain situations, this is fraught with road traffic accidents.
