How to deal with gear shifting noise in FAW J6P?
2 Answers
To prevent noise during gear shifting, the clutch pedal should be fully depressed, and the engine speed should match the vehicle speed. Here is the relevant introduction to gear shifting in FAW J6P: 1. Manual transmission vehicles generally have a clutch, which is a crucial component in the transmission system. The clutch is located between the transmission and the engine; 2. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the clutch disengages. When the clutch pedal is released, the clutch engages. During gear shifting, the clutch pedal must be quickly depressed to the floor to ensure smooth gear shifting; 3. During gear shifting, the gear should match the engine speed and driving speed. Otherwise, it may lead to difficulty in engaging gears and even cause noise. When downshifting, the downshift rev-matching technique can be used to prevent jerking after gear shifting.
I've driven trucks for over 20 years and seen plenty of gear grinding issues with the FAW J6P, mostly due to clutch wear or improper adjustment. That grating sound during every gear shift, like metal scraping, is really annoying. I suggest you first check if the clutch pedal travel is too long - manually shortening it might help. If that doesn't work, it could be a faulty release bearing or worn transmission synchronizers. I remember one time I neglected to check the oil level, and the noise kept getting worse until the transmission was completely ruined, costing me thousands in vain. The FAW J6P is quite rugged, but it needs regular maintenance, especially gentle operation habits - don't stomp on the clutch. Check the oil level and linkage mechanism right away, or get an experienced mechanic to inspect it. Don't wait until major repairs are needed to regret it.
