What's up with my gearbox?
Why is that my car doesn't change gear when I'm driving... but it has spead but the gear is not changing
Our answer:
Hi John,
You've not given us much to go on, not knowing the make, model, year, engine or gearbox type. Any chance you could have knocked the (presumably automatic) gearbox into manual mode so it won't change up without you doing so?
