What Causes the Clicking Sound When Shifting Gears in a Manual Transmission?
1 Answers
Possible reasons for the clicking sound when shifting gears are as follows: 1. Transmission failure: Damage to the transmission housing, or long-term wear and deformation of the transmission housing and bearing seat holes. This sound is most pronounced when shifting into low gears and decreases progressively when shifting into higher gears, being minimal in direct drive. 2. Gear failure: Due to the fracturing of individual gear surfaces, causing impact during meshing. When shifting into this gear, strong impacts and vibrations occur, leading to resonance in the transmission housing. 3. Drivetrain failure: Poor technical condition of the external drivetrain components (clutch, drive shaft), resulting in impacts and vibrations during use, which cause transmission resonance and produce resonant noise. This noise is often irregular and may occur sporadically within a certain RPM range.
