If your transmission is manual, you will have to change gear. If it is automatic, you won't.
Yes
A fully automatic car doesn't need any action at all to change gear, a semi automatic car can have no clutch pedal, just a gear stick which you pull backwards to gear up or pedals behind the steering wheel.
You will need to specificate your problem, is it a manual or automatic gear box
my automatic transmission is stuck in neutral. how do you get it into gear
It is called the passing gear.
That would be the second gear of your automatic transmission.
There are several things that can cause your automatic transmission not to go into first gear. The most common cause is low transmission fluid.
it wont change gear properly. if at all,,, because of the oil thickness
There's sludge or bits in the valve body.
The real problem is manually shifting from gear to gear with an automatic transmission. If you are referring to the automatic upshift, there may be a problem with the EGR system or vacuum system.
"Yes, you can" (sounds very well known, no?), but it will be too expensive! Beside the gear box you have to change allot of parts. Better sale the car and buy one with automatic! But the fun will never be the same ... no offense for automatic gear box lover!
