Diagnostic Aids

The manual transmission can be noisy for a number of reasons. It can be noisy in neutral, low, high, and/or reverse gear. Diagnose the transmission, including the level of fluid and the correct type of fluid in the transmission. Inspect for misalignment or loose bolts to the engine. The transmission could be noisy internally. Gears, synchronizers, and bearings should be inspected for worn or damaged components.
