What kind of sound does the abnormal noise from the Sylphy transmission make?

Sylphy transmission abnormal noise is the sound of metal friction. The following is a related introduction about Sylphy: 1. Introduction to Sylphy: Sylphy is a mid-size car under Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd., and is one of the most typical mainstream family sedans in the Chinese market (alongside models like Octavia PRO, Sagitar, Lavida, Corolla, and Bora). 2. Sylphy's intelligent configuration: The new car is equipped with the latest Nissan Connect super-smart system, featuring an external 8-inch HD capacitive touch screen that includes functions such as voice control of the vehicle and remote control of the vehicle. Voice control allows basic operations of the vehicle's online audio-visual entertainment system, all-time online navigation system, Bluetooth phone, driving recorder, and air conditioning through simple conversation.
As a Sylph owner, I find that transmission noises are usually grinding or scraping sounds, like gears clashing when the engine drives the transmission during acceleration, especially noticeable when parking, shifting gears, or climbing hills. This could be due to gear wear or insufficient lubrication. I once faced a similar issue—initially mistaking it for road noise, but upon closer listening, I realized the sound came from below the gear lever. Ignoring it can lead to worsening noise and even vibrations, compromising driving safety. I recommend first checking the transmission fluid—if it's low or dirty, replace it promptly. Also, have a car-savvy friend listen to the noise frequency for a preliminary diagnosis to prevent minor issues from escalating.
After driving the Sylphy for a long time, I've noticed that transmission noises are often a low-pitched humming sound, similar to the noise of an electric drill, which becomes more pronounced during acceleration or deceleration. Sometimes it sounds like bearing balls grinding, possibly due to aging or loose internal components. If the noise is noticeable during stop-and-go city driving, it can be distracting and affect the driving feel. I recommend not ignoring it; first, listen to see if the sound is related to vehicle speed, such as the humming intensifying above 40 km/h, in which case you should check the driveshaft or oil line issues. Regular transmission fluid maintenance is key, and the noise usually subsides after changing to new fluid. If the sound turns into a sharp ticking noise, it's time to send it for repair immediately to avoid transmission failure.
