In a manual transmission car, the gear shifter is used to change gears by moving it into different positions. When the driver moves the gear shifter, it engages or disengages different gears in the transmission, allowing the car to shift to a higher or lower gear ratio. This helps control the speed and power of the vehicle.

Why does a transmission shifter not work?

Typically the interlock with with the brake pedal has failed, also the transmission shifter linkage could be loose and jammed. You may be able to remove the shifter cover and see the interlock and manually move it aside so you can get vehicle to a shop. The interlock makes sure you do not put vehicle in gear without the brakes on.
