Why does the FAW J6L always make noise when shifting gears?
2 Answers
FAW J6L always makes noise when shifting gears mainly because the clutch pedal travel is too low. The following is an introduction to FAW Jiefang: Introduction: FAW Jiefang Automobile Co., Ltd. was established on January 18, 2003. Honors: On September 2, 2019, the Axle Branch of FAW Jiefang Automobile Co., Ltd. was selected into the list of green supply chain management demonstration enterprises by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China. In October 2020, it was commended by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission as an advanced collective of central enterprises in the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic. In July 2021, the Party Committee of the Engine Division of FAW Jiefang Automobile Co., Ltd. was awarded the title of "Advanced Grassroots Party Organization in Wuxi" by the Wuxi Municipal Committee. In June 2021, the Party Committee of the Transmission Factory of the Transmission Division of FAW Jiefang Automobile Co., Ltd. was rated as an "Advanced Grassroots Party Organization in Jilin Province".
The frequent clunking sound when shifting gears in FAW J6L is quite common, and I reckon it's mostly due to synchronizer issues. This component acts like a matchmaker in the transmission, ensuring gears mesh smoothly. If it's worn or improperly adjusted, it'll definitely give you trouble during gear changes. Another possibility is the clutch pedal not being fully depressed, causing incomplete disengagement and gear grinding. Also, don't overlook the gear oil - if it turns black or thins out, the reduced lubrication will amplify metal friction noises. I remember last time I encountered this, it was an oil issue; changing it made an immediate difference. Pay attention to shifting techniques during daily driving, especially during cold starts - gentle operation extends component lifespan. If the noise becomes more frequent, get it checked at a service station promptly - don't wait until gear teeth are damaged to regret it.
