What causes the abnormal noise when shifting from second to third gear in Lavida?
2 Answers
Lavida has abnormal noise when shifting from second to third gear possibly due to severe gear wear. Lack of lubrication: Because the transmission control mechanism lacks lubrication, causing excessive resistance that prevents automatic reset after gear selection. Guide block reset spring breakage or sticky gear oil: Because the guide block reset spring is broken or the gear oil is sticky, creating excessive resistance for the guide block to reset, which may also prevent normal reset of the guide block. Gear lever cable damage or spring loss of elasticity: Because the cable under the gear lever is broken, or there is a spring that has lost its elasticity. Impact mitigation: Car tires are one of the important components of a car, directly in contact with the road surface, working together with the car suspension to mitigate the impact received during driving. Comfort: Ensuring the car has good ride comfort and smooth driving, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the car's traction, braking, and passability, and bearing the weight of the car.
When I used to drive a Lavida, I also encountered abnormal noises when shifting from second to third gear, which sounded like friction or clicking. This was usually caused by the clutch not being fully depressed, leading to damage to the synchronizer. The transmission design of Volkswagen vehicles leans towards economy, and frequent gear shifts in urban driving conditions over time can accelerate wear. If the abnormal noise persists, it can also affect gear lifespan and increase fuel consumption. I recommend first checking your driving habits to ensure the clutch pedal is fully depressed with each gear shift and observing whether the noise is more noticeable during cold starts. If the issue is minor, you can adjust your shifting rhythm yourself, but it's best to have a professional shop diagnose it to prevent minor issues from turning into major repairs.
