What Causes the Transmission to Make a Rumbling Noise That Stops When the Clutch Is Pressed?
1 Answers
Transmission makes a rumbling noise that stops when the clutch is pressed because the engine's power cannot be transmitted to the transmission, at which point the transmission gears are not in motion. The clutch is a component installed between the engine and the transmission, capable of connecting or disconnecting the engine from the transmission. The transmission is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixing or changing the gear ratio between the output and input shafts. The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism, with some vehicles also featuring a power take-off mechanism. Transmissions are divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions, with automatic transmissions using planetary gear mechanisms to change gears automatically based on the degree of throttle pedal depression and changes in vehicle speed.
