What causes the noise when shifting from P to R gear?
2 Answers
The specific reasons for abnormal noise from the gear lever are as follows: 1. The parking location might not be on a flat surface, with a slight slope, and insufficient brake pressure can cause this situation. Solution: Apply more force to the brake, especially when starting the car. 2. If there's a clicking sound, it's because the reverse gear lacks a synchronizer, making it harder to engage, which can also produce noise. Solution: Have it checked at a professional repair shop. 3. The issue could be with the control valve, possibly due to abnormal operation of the slide valve. Solution: It's recommended to check the transmission fluid level. If the fluid level is adequate, then the problem might be clutch slippage in the transmission, requiring repair at a professional shop. A squeaking noise from the gear lever in an automatic transmission car can have certain impacts on the vehicle's operation. It's essential to promptly identify the problem and perform maintenance or repairs to extend the vehicle's lifespan.
I've been driving for over twenty years, and hearing noises when shifting gears is a common occurrence. The most frequent cause of a clicking sound when shifting from P to R is rapid gear engagement, possibly due to the brake not being fully depressed or the car not being completely stationary, leading to transmission gear impact. In winter, when the oil thickens, the noise becomes more noticeable. Sometimes, it's due to wear in the shift linkage mechanism or the transmission fluid being too dirty or insufficient, requiring a check on the fluid level and color. Shifting gears on a slope can also easily cause noise because the car may slide slightly. Ignoring it can lead to transmission damage over time, and repairs can be costly. I make it a habit to ensure the brake is firmly pressed before each shift and to operate the car slowly, which usually prevents issues. However, if the noise persists, it's best to have a professional check the valve body or sensors.
