Description of the problem | The design of the automatic transmission gear shifter can lead to incorrect gear selection. Many times i have switched from d to r only to be stuck in neutral or gone all the way to p. Vice versa, on switching from p to d the car may go to n because the joystick was not held quite long enough. The "notches" that indicate the gear selection via tactile feedback to the driver are very subtle and can be easily misinterpreted or miscounted. |
