What sound does a gearbox make when the gears grind?
1 Answers
When gears in a gearbox grind, there is a hard metal-on-metal clashing sound. Here is relevant information about gear grinding in transmissions: 1. Principle of gear grinding: During transmission operation, when gears rub against each other, grinding occurs. Over time, the gear crowns become rounded, resulting in incomplete engagement after shifting. This makes the transmission prone to gear disengagement during operation. 2. Occurrence of gear grinding: Under normal driving conditions, automatic transmissions generally don't experience gear grinding, which mostly occurs in manual transmissions. This is primarily because transmissions without synchronizers are more likely to experience gear grinding during operation.
