Why does my engine cut out when I put in gear?
When it is sticking and killing the motor going in to gear, It means the lower shift cable, The cable that goes to the transom assy, is corroded and tight. It needs to be replaced. And I’m guessing that means I’ll have to remove the stern drive and maybe the gimball housing. Then I have to put on a new transom gasket? Ok. Thanks for your help.
What causes a car to stall at idle?
The torque converter and torque converter lock up solenoid should be evaluated. Another possibility is an internal hydraulic leak in transmission seals causing pressure to apply both reverse and forward gears at the same time, lock up the transmission and stall the engine.

What should I do when I put my car in gear?
With the engine warmed up, drive at highway speed, and hold the accelerator pedal perfectly steady. Tap the brake pedal momentarily with your left foot. You should see engine speed pick up about 200 rpm, then drop back down a couple of seconds later.

What to do if your car stalls while idle?
On the other hand, if the engine gets stalled while your vehicle speed is idle, you cannot steer it to the roadside. At that time, let’s turn on the hazard light and call the roadside assistance or the police. It doesn’t absolutely get out of your vehicle. Don’t push your car while you are on a busy road.
