What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Shifting to Reverse Gear?
1 Answers
Reasons for abnormal noise when shifting to reverse gear: When shifting an automatic transmission into reverse and backing up, the vehicle moves in the opposite direction. Since there is a certain amount of play between the brake pads and the bracket's rear end, the brake pads may impact the rear surface of the bracket when braking, resulting in a clicking noise. This clicking sound during reverse is a normal play-related noise and does not indicate a vehicle malfunction. Below are some methods to mitigate the noise when shifting an automatic transmission into reverse: Apply a thin layer of lubricant to the contact areas between the brake pads and the caliper bracket. This can help reduce the noise to some extent. Be careful not to apply lubricant to the friction surfaces of the brake pads or the brake disc, as this could negatively affect braking performance.
