When touching a metal object, you have probably at some time received an electrical shock caused by the electrostatic charging of the human body. This charge can disturb the function of electrical components of the transmission and of selector mechanism.

Before beginning work on electrical components, touch a grounded object. For example, a water pipe or lifting platform. Do not directly touch connectors of electronic components.
