Why does it make noise when shifting gears?
1 Answers
The reasons for noise when shifting gears: 1. The clutch pedal is not fully depressed; 2. Loose linkage mechanism; 3. Severely worn clutch disc or damaged pressure plate. The noise during gear shifting occurs due to gear friction during the process. Since reverse gears don't have synchronizers, this issue is quite common and usually doesn't require repair. When abnormal noises occur during gear shifting, you need to identify the source by listening carefully. If the sound is relatively small and comes from near the gear lever, it's likely caused by the shifting mechanism. If there's a clunking sound during shifting, it's usually due to gear impact issues in the transmission. Improper transmission assembly, incorrect replacement of certain gears or needle bearings/bushings, or abnormal assembly clearance can all cause poor gear meshing and result in abnormal noises during operation.
