Transmission Noisy

Transmission Noisy

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

2. This step inspects for vibration causing a noise. If the vehicle is carrying a certain load, the driveline axle may not be correct, and could cause a vibration. The vibration maybe resonating into the transaxle, causing a noise.
6. This step inspects for the correct transaxle fluid level. If the transaxle fluid level is excessively low, damage may have occurred to the transaxle components.
8. This step inspects for the correct type of transaxle fluid. The transaxle uses a special fluid. If the incorrect fluid was used, there may have been an overheating problem. Overheating may cause damage to the transaxle components.
10. This step inspects for noise coming into the driver compartment. Improper sealing of the shift tower may be allowing normal transaxle noise to be heard by the driver.
14. This step tests to determine if clutch components are making the noise. Depress the clutch pedal slowly and listen for the change in noise. If the noise changes while pressing the pedal, it may be a faulty clutch component. If the noise does not change until the clutch is completely disengaged, the transaxle component is faulty.
