Why is there a strange noise when shifting into P gear?
1 Answers
Shifting into P gear with a strange noise is the sound of gear meshing, which is a normal phenomenon. Structure of P gear locking: This sound is caused by the interaction between the gear on the internal output shaft of the transmission and the locking pin in the P gear locking structure. This is why the vehicle cannot move forward or backward when shifted into P gear, and the force increases appropriately with steeper slopes. Solution: For this situation, you can first stop the car completely, engage the manual brake (handbrake), and then shift into P gear for better results. Additionally, it is recommended to check the performance of the engine pawl. If its performance deteriorates, it may cause the above phenomenon.
