Hello, young car fans! Today we are going to take a look at a really cool thing called gear linkage. Are you aware what is gear linkage? The transmission is a big element in your car responsible for shifting gears. The gear linkage consists of several parts that work together to provide smooth gear changes.

The gear stick is the part you grip to change gears. This is a knob or lever that you use to shift between gears. The gear stick sends signals to the gear linkage when the stick is moved in any direction. Subsequently, the gear linkage shifts the cogs in the vehicle's interior. So, as you press down on the clutch pedal with your foot and move the gear stick, the gear linkage with the help of the power transfer unit from the engine to the wheels. So this is how your car can move forward or backward!

As with all of the other components in your car, the gear linkage can sometimes have issues as well. One of the old linkage issues. This can occur due to heavy use over the years or even from rust. When this occurs, you may struggle to change gears, and in fact may find it very difficult to put the car in reverse.
