What Causes the Occasional Noise When Engaging Reverse Gear from a Standstill?
1 Answers
Occasional noise when engaging reverse gear from a standstill can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Reverse gear lacks a synchronizer: The synchronizer is an internal transmission component that facilitates smooth gear engagement during gear shifts. Some vehicles are not equipped with synchronizers, making gear shifting more difficult. 2. Friction between gears during engagement: When the clutch is depressed, the reverse gear in the transmission may still be rotating for a short period. Engaging the gear at this moment can cause gear grinding. If you depress the clutch and wait a few seconds for the rotating reverse gear to come to a complete stop before engaging, the abnormal noise can be avoided.
