Geely Emgrand makes noise when shifting into reverse gear mainly due to transmission issues. Here are the solutions for the noise when shifting into reverse gear in the Geely Emgrand: The transmission has many components, and the causes of noise are complex. When analyzing and diagnosing, pay attention to: whether the noise is related to specific speeds, such as some planetary gears being more noticeable around 50Km/h. Whether it is related to certain gears, which is crucial for diagnosing transmission faults. If noise occurs in a specific gear, it is likely related to the components affecting that gear's transmission. If noise occurs in all gears, it is often due to issues with the constant-mesh gear shaft or insufficient transmission oil. Whether it is related to specific actions, such as shifting gears, starting, rapid acceleration, rapid deceleration, or turning, which are effective ways to diagnose abnormal noises. Changing speed and direction is particularly important for diagnosing rear axle issues. Here are the solutions for difficulty in shifting gears after wading in the Geely Emgrand: Difficulty in shifting gears after wading in the Geely Emgrand is caused by the clutch sticking due to water ingress, leading to incomplete disengagement. The only solution is to replace the clutch disc and pressure plate. Avoid shifting gears while wading. Driving in low gear at a slow speed is the safest way to wade through water. Before wading, assess the water depth, flow speed, underwater conditions, and the width of the entry and exit points, as well as the road conditions, to determine if it is safe to proceed.

I've been driving a Geely Emgrand for a while, and the strange noise when reversing is quite annoying. The main reason is gear wear in the transmission, especially after several years of use, improper gear meshing can cause clunking sounds. It could also be due to not fully depressing the clutch before shifting, causing impact. The problem is more likely to occur when starting a cold engine due to insufficient lubrication. It's recommended to come to a complete stop before shifting into reverse and to avoid rough operation. Regularly check the transmission fluid and replace it promptly if it's dirty or low. If the noise persists, don't delay—visit a 4S shop or professional repair shop to avoid damaging transmission components and compromising driving safety. Developing good habits can save a lot on repair costs.

As someone who frequently repairs cars, the abnormal noise when engaging reverse gear in the Emgrand is mostly due to transmission failure. Worn gears or synchronizers cause loose engagement, resulting in a creaking sound when shifting. Clutch assembly issues, such as a loose shift fork, can also trigger this. The inspection method is simple: distinguish by sound - a clicking noise often indicates gear problems, while a rustling sound may suggest rust. First, check the transmission oil; darkened color or low level is a telltale sign. Don't attempt DIY fixes; get a professional diagnosis promptly. For prevention, avoid rapid gear shifts and half-clutch operations. Long-term neglect will accelerate wear and may necessitate a full transmission replacement.

Benefits of Transmission Fluid Replacement?

Replacing transmission fluid can provide protection for the engine. Enhances gear protection: The transmission is part of the drivetrain, with internal gears rotating at high speeds to transfer power, requiring gear oil for lubrication, cooling, cleaning, and anti-corrosion. Improves power transmission efficiency: The torque converter relies on transmission fluid to transfer power, and many hydraulic mechanisms within the transmission also require transmission fluid to operate. Resists foam formation: During power transmission, liquids are highly efficient due to their incompressibility. If air enters the fluid, continuous agitation by the torque converter can create foam, significantly reducing power transmission efficiency.
