Was driving my car (automatic) up hill yesterday after turning a corner onto the hill I noticed the gears stopped changing the car was revving supper bad but I couldn’t stop on the hill to check what was wrong as there were cars behind me, by the time I was able to pull it it must have been about 3/4 mins of the car struggling and screaming at me coming up hill.
When I stopped and checked for issues I noticed my gear stick had knocked out from D to D+ -
When I shifted it back I took it for a short drive before coming back home where all seemed to me ok, I’m just wondering would I have done major damage to my car with this and why would it have just knocked out of D while driving?
I’m hoping it’s all good I know 0 about cars it’s my first car and I just bought it from a dealership 3 months ago
You probably switched your transmission to manual mode, which means that you basically told the transmission computer to not switch gears unless commanded by you. You can do that by pushing or pulling on the shifter.
No damage done. The car just stayed in the gear that was selected.
