If a car creeps in neutral, what would not cause this to happen?

When a car creeps in neutral, it indicates that there is an unintended engagement of the transmission, allowing power from the engine to propel the vehicle even when it is not in gear.

The presence of low automatic transmission fluid can lead to a variety of transmission problems, often resulting in harsh shifting or slipping. However, it typically would not cause a vehicle to creep in neutral. This is because low fluid levels mainly affect hydraulic pressure and lubrication, which might lead to failure in engaging gears properly when shifting or may cause overheating, but it wouldn’t directly cause a car to move when in neutral.

On the other hand, scenarios such as internal valve body leaks, warped clutch plates, and incorrect manual valve linkage adjustment can create conditions where the transmission does not function as intended, leading to a creeping motion. A valve body leak can allow fluid to bypass necessary channels, leading to unintended gear engagement. Warped clutch plates can cause excessive drag, allowing the car to move forward. Similarly, an incorrect manual valve linkage adjustment can result in improper engagement of the transmission gears, which might lead to movement even in neutral.

Thus, while low fluid can cause many issues related to the transmission’s function, it is not a direct cause of a vehicle creeping in neutral
