Possible Causes: This is usually caused by misalignment between the transmission and engine, or a defect in any of the rotating parts. This could include a dry or worn bearing, a broken or worn gear, a bent countergear, or excessive countergear endplay. Possible Causes: Sources of this problem may be traced to wear and tear on any number of components.
Check your reverse-idler gear or bushing, reverse gear on the mainshaft, or countergear. You should also inspect your shift mechanism for any damage that could be the source of the problem. It could simply be that your clutch is slipping, or it may be the sign of a broken gear, busted mainshaft, stripped gears, or sheared splines. It could also be a broken shift fork or linkage part. Inspect closely and keep your fingers crossed.
Possible Causes: Take a close look at your transmission fluid first. This foam will completely fill the case and leak out.
If your lubricant checks out, turn your attention to the gaskets and seals associated with your transmission. If a transmission gasket , oil seal, oil slinger, speedometer pinion seal, interlock plate seal, or extension housing seal is the source of the leak, replace as necessary. Also, inspect the detent plug and fill plug, and replace those as necessary. I have an 84 trans am with a ticking noise that fades if you let the clutch out a little and put pressure on it.
Hello, So I bought a 92 manual trans Camaro. Trans wont shift into a gear. It feels like it does but you can let out the clutch and it just stays at idle speed and does not stall. Clutch pedal is not hard but feels like it is engaging feel wise. Check the linkage. You may need to raise the vehicle and safely support it on jack stands or remove a component in order to make the inspection, depending on your vehicle model.
You may need to remove a shift lever boot. Get the help of an assistant to operate the linkage while you inspect the linkage, if necessary. Look for problems like binding, poor lubrication, misaligned components. To remove components for inspection, consult your vehicle repair manual. Haynes is a good aftermarket manual: get the manual for your exact model.
Other causes for a hard-to-shift manual transmission include:. When you have trouble getting the transmission into gear, inspect the shift linkage for adjustment, looseness or damage.
However, remember that failure to get into gear can also be caused by the clutch, if the clutch isn't fully releasing or has other problems. The clutch might need adjustment.
Check my article on bad clutches. Also, consult your vehicle repair manual. Inspect gaskets, seals, or loose bolts when looking for oil leaks. To verify that a leak exists, first, check the transmission case and oil level. If it leaks after you just replaced the oil, you may have put too much. Consult your vehicle repair manual. Locate the source of the leak. Inspect the transmission oil seal and the O-ring in the vehicle speed sensor.
Consult your vehicle repair manual for the proper procedure to replace seals, bearings, or gaskets. Some of these repairs don't require much work, and you may be able to do the job in your own garage with a few common tools. Knowing about common manual transmission problems can help you diagnose your problems sooner, and possibly save money.
This guide helps you identify and explore those common and not-so-common areas. Still, manual transmissions vary between models, so once you have an idea of the possible problem with your transmission, consult your model's vehicle repair manual to troubleshoot that particular issue.
You may be able, in some cases, to do the repair yourself. Also, keep in mind that it's not uncommon for some transmissions to suffer from design issues, like those in some Mazda3, Mazda6, and CX-5 models with hard to shift or jumping out of gear problems. If necessary, check online for possible recalls or technical service bulletins TBS for your specific model or call your local dealer. Question: I just changed my wheel bearings, struts, axles, tie rods, ball joints and sway bar links on both sides of my Subaru Outback.
What could this be? Answer: Check the engine and transmission mounts. Make sure the is still well attached to the backing plates and the rubber is not cracked. Question: I have a 5 speed, Kia Spectra that can't get it in any gear.
Do you have any suggestions as for where to start? Answer: Check the post, section 6. It gives you an idea of the issue plus a link a post on clutch issues that might be relevant to this problem. It is hard to shift into 1st, sometimes 2nd too, whether the engine is running or not. Has a new clutch, and all new hydraulics. Do I need another trans or shift forks or synchros?
Answer: There are one several reason for this to happen: A problem with the gearshift internal linkage or shift rail assembly; gearshift lever worn or damaged ; problem with a synchronizer sleeve. You need to have the problem properly diagnosed. You might want to start with the gearshift lever. It started making a growling noise from the transmission on the low end of third gear when hauling a trailer.
So I stopped hauling with it. It makes a growling noise at low RPMs in 2nd gear. The newest noise, when coasting in 4th, it makes a light growling noise. No whining. Shifts well. Worn out gears? Answer: The problem could be one or more bearings.
It sounds like a worn countergear bearing, intermediate shaft front or rear bearing or even the output shaft bearing, if you can hear the noise in reverse as well.
Question: I think my manual transmission has a stuck shift rail. What are some things I can try to fix it? The car is in neutral, but the shift looks like it's just about in first but not quite. The shifter is also pretty stuck on there. Answer: You might want to check the gearshift linkages and check for some binding in the mechanism outside the transmission. Follow the gearshift level mechanism to the shifter assembly or rods, and see if anything is interfering with movement.
Question: My Toyota Corolla had its transmission cooling lines replaced and I put 3 quarts 2. When the car is started, the car goes into gear and then drives about a half a mile and then it slows down and does not go, although the engine is still running.
I then turn off the car, restart it and then the car goes again until it slows down and stops going again. What can be causing this? Answer: You may be losing transmission oil pressure. Download trouble codes, even if the check engine light is not on. This is also a symptom of a weak fuel pump. Check fluid pressure and fuel pump before replacing any components to make sure what system you are dealing with. If possible, check fuel pressure after the engine loses power.
This other post may help:. The clutch maker blames it on gearbox though got new clutch coming 8 garages said the same it the clutch. What are you think it is? Answer: There could be some air in the hydraulic system. Check and see if you can hold the clutch depressed for a few secs before shifting into first. Also, try going to second and then to first. If any of this makes shifting into first without grinding, you may need to bleed the system.
Question: My Ford F is stuck in second gear, but the shifter moves. What could be the problem? Answer: The gearshift lever may be worn or broken, or there could be issues with gear train components. Question: I can switch gears, and it won't take off. When I press the pedal in, all you can hear is a rubbing noise as if the clutch itself isn't catching and spinning around.
What do you think it could be? Answer: The clutch might be slipping. Set the parking brake, disengage the clutch, shift into third gear and increase engine speed to about rpm. Slowly release the clutch pedal until the clutch engages. The engine should stall. If not, the clutch is slipping. The clutch linkage could be binding, clutch disc wear, or some other damage.
Question: My car is a model Isuzu D-Max. Now, this seems to be unusual that I smell a burning odor. How is this? Answer: If the smell is coming from the transmission, probably the clutch is slipping clutch friction caused by the disc between the flywheel and the pressure plate.
This may happen when accelerating from a standstill or under heavy load. But riding the clutch pedal, need of release clearance adjustment and oil contamination can also cause this.
Question: I have a Honda Accord. Just about burned my second clutch. Can a bad transmission cause premature clutch failure? Answer: This usually happens when the clutch slips too much or the assembly is contaminated with oil. Check the clutch linkage or hydraulic system for any signs of problems. There are other mechanical issues in the assembly that may cause premature failure. This other post may help you here:. If possible, talk to the shop where the clutch was replaced, maybe they were able to diagnose the problem when they removed the failed clutch.
Question: When I push on the accelerator and shift into gear, it makes a whiring sound when I drive. Answer: If you can hear the noise in all gears while moving, but you don't hear it in neutral, probably you got faulty output bearings.
Question: My parents had a new clutch put on a Kia Sportage. However, it is still doing so. The garage said this happened on other Sportages and that it most likely needs another transmission installed. Is this a common issue with these vehicles? Answer: The most common reasons for a grinding noise is a worn out synchronizer, bearings, or gears. But it can also happen if for some reason the transmission is running out of oil or the oil has been contaminated.
Other problems that can lead to a grinding noise include bad speedometer drive gears or too much end play at the input or output gear end. I'm not aware of a TSB technical service bulletin reported specifically for the transmission on this model.
The most common issue on this model has to do with the engine, cooling, and fuel systems. If the transmission fluid breaks down, the system will run too hot, causing increased friction, too much combustion ,and engine overheating, causing additional sludge and debris.
If this is not fixed ,the manual transmission will damage itself to break down completely and require a full transmission replacement. If the car cannot shift after engaging the clutch, then the fluid might be at the wrong level, causing the car to not be able to shift into gear and causing further manual transmission problems.
Other causes can include the type of fluid used in the transmission, the clutch linkage, or the shift cables in the improper spot. If you have already checked out the transmission fluid and know that it is the right type and at the right level, you can try resetting the fluid completely. To do this, you can do it yourself without having to pay for a mechanic by simply detaching the battery and letting it sit for 30 minutes.
Then, reattach the battery and then determine if the battery was able to rest itself. The check engine light can show up on your dashboard for a variety of reasons, like a faulty oxygen sensor, damaged mass air flow sensor, or other causes.
One of these reasons is a damaged manual transmission problem, with the light being a helpful warning sign to alert the driver to any issues. The sensors are in charge of picking up jerks and vibrations that are located within the manual transmission. If you notice this is the problem, take the vehicle to your local mechanic and have it inspected.
If you want to save some money and diagnose the issue yourself, then you can buy your own diagnostic scan tool that is plugged into the instrument panel and show you the trouble code that is plaguing your car. If you are experienced and have some knowledge about cars, this can save you some labor costs in the long run.
If you notice that when you shift gears into neutral with your manual transmission that it starts making noise, then this could require a simple solution that can help you protect the longevity of your manual transmission.
The fix could be as simple as adding some additional fluid or changing the transmission fluid to ensure the levels are correct. The most common cause of a loud transmission is low oil, causing the gears or internal assembly to hum or whir.
If a loud transmission does have enough oil, the lubricant could also be contaminated with metal shavings or particles. Some noises that seem to come from the transmission are actually coming from an outside though possibly related source. For instance, if you hear a thumping noise when you accelerate or decelerate, check 1st for these issues before you blame the transmission:.
Problems with the transmission may also be revealed through a grinding noise. A grinding noise might come from clashing gears.
The clashing might happen due to linkage issues like wear or need of adjustment. Other potential sources may well be a worn or broken synchronizer, shift fork, or rail and bearing shafts. If you can hear the gears clashing only when downshifting, the problem might come from the synchronizer too much play at the output shaft end. However, a grinding noise can also come from a dragging clutch. This appears to be a common problem on worn-out transmissions. You shift into gear, and the transmission jumps out of gear.
Once again, there might be other causes for this problem, besides a worn-out transmission. A common problem is a worn out, stretched, or maladjusted shift linkage.
