DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Noise Evaluation
Note: Carry out this evaluation with the transmission cold and at normal operating temperature to
listen for any change in noise as the transmission warms up.
1. Start the engine.
2. Evaluate the noise in NEUTRAL with the vehicle is parked.
3. Listen for any change in noise while depressing and releasing the clutch pedal.
4. Listen for any change in noise while changing the engine rpm.
5. Drive the vehicle and shift through all of the gear ranges, including reverse. Listen for any
changes in noise in a particular gear.
6. Drive the vehicle in the gear in which the noise is most noticeable. Depress the clutch pedal
and leave the gear engaged. Listen for any change in noise. The vibration of the engine may be
amplifying the noise.
7. Drive the vehicle under the same conditions identified in the previous step. Depress the clutch
pedal and shift the transmission into neutral. Release the clutch pedal and allow the vehicle to
coast. Evaluate the noise as the rear axle assembly turns the mainshaft.
