How to Determine if the Transmission is Grinding Gears?
1 Answers
Transmission gear grinding refers to abnormal noises from the car's transmission area and a jerky sensation during gear shifting. Below is additional information on transmission gear grinding: 1. Gear grinding occurs when two metal gears collide harshly, accelerating wear on the gear teeth crowns. Over time and with repeated occurrences, the square tooth crowns become rounded, leading to incomplete engagement after shifting gears. Slight vibrations can then cause the gear to slip out, necessitating a major transmission overhaul. 2. To avoid transmission gear grinding: Fully depress the clutch pedal; engaging only halfway can cause severe reverse gear grinding. If the clutch is not fully depressed, the synchronizer cannot handle the large speed difference, resulting in significant synchronizer wear.
