aaddzz123 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 When I reverse I get a grinding sound from the box. It sounds like when you think it's in reverse but it isn't and you let the clutch up, except with my GT it is 8 gear and moves but sounds like it's not in gear properly... anyone had this or something similar? Does it in first slightly sometimes too but not very often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chops Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I have a similar problem where it feels like its gone into reverse but actually isnt quite, and grinds as i let up occasionally, then i find i can move it back further. ive just learned to tell when its playing silly buggers like that. first can also do something similar, but not let me select it at all without sort of feeling about untill i can get it past whatever is stopping it. no idea what it is, ive been too lazy/busy to have a look about for the cause.

You can usually feel when the gearstick doesn't go into gear as far as it should. If it won't go in just keep pulling back on slightly for it to go in gear and slowly bring the clutch up. It always pops into gear just before the biting point Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Ye i have this problem with reverse, but ive had it in most cars ive had tbh, u need just need to have a play till you get it in reverse mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Think you're getting the wrong impression guys haha .It goes into gear fine... But when you reverse, it sounds like its not in gear. It is in gear but it makes similar kind of noise as to when it's not quite in and you let the clutch up... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maddox710 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Sounds like the gears cogs are damaged Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scottieboi94 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Oh right, well i couldn't tell you the problem then mate sorry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Probably have a chipped tooth on on a couple of your gears. Also check your engine and box mounts, can cause damage to the gear box when worn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Probably have a chipped tooth on on a couple of your gears. Also check your engine and box mounts, can cause damage to the gear box when wornyes, I remember when the driver side mount went on my glanza which made the selectors go slack and tricky to get in gears Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is also hard to get into gear when giving it some... Better change the mount eh and see if it sorts that problem out. Clutch is slipping too so the box is coming out anyway. I have a spare I can put in Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aaddzz123 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 It goes into gear absolutely fine. It sounds more like something is catching when you reverse. The closest noise I can compare it to is when it doesn't go in gear.Only time it's hard to change gear is when I drive it near the red line before changing and it feels really stiff or sluggish into gear. Probably needs the oil changing too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chops Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 something not disengaging? cant be reverse or it wouldnt move at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Well it does it in first sometimes too... I thought maybe something to do with the clutch but it's only in first and reverse. Mainly just reverse. I'll try and get a video of it although probably won't be any good lol... It's not really a problem I just want to know what it is as I've never had anything like it before lol. Probably something in the box on it's way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chops Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 i would try going from each gear into reverse, and see if it only does it with certain gears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
