What Causes the Noise When Shifting to R Gear?

[McFinley]

When shifting gears, friction occurs between the gears. If the clutch is depressed for a short time, the reverse gear in the transmission may still be rotating. At this point, attempting to shift will inevitably cause gear grinding. However, if you depress the clutch and wait a few seconds for the rotating reverse gear to come to a complete stop before shifting, the noise will not occur. P Gear: Parking—The parking gear, abbreviated from the first letter of the English word 'Parking.' After parking the car, remember to shift into P gear, which engages the braking system and prevents 'rolling.' Typically, the P gear is located at the top position of the gear selector and is used when the vehicle is parked. R Gear: Reverse—The reverse gear, abbreviated from the first letter of the English word 'Reverse.' Positioned below the P gear, this is the gear most frequently used for reversing while driving.
