This is my second post in my noise question series. It is in regards to my loud gear shift noise. Have had the JLU sport manual transmission since July, has 2700 miles on it.
Have recently noticed, especially with the windows open, that when I cycle through gears with the clutch pressed in that The Sound is a very loud clunking as I cycle through the gears. It doesn’t grind, it’s not hard to shift, it just sounds very loud. May not be abnormal but as with the other sounds I’m hearing, I didn’t notice it being this loud until this week.
The jeep still drives and shifts like normal except that down shifting doesn’t seem as drastic as normal in regards to engine breaking. But it drives pretty normal. I’m not sure but I “might” hear a slight metallic rattling when the engine is under load (as long as I’m giving it gas) but I could just be imagining it. Maybe something is loose?
Not my first or second manual vehicle. Had a manual Saturn and then a brand new manual 2004 wrangler for 7 years. So I’m not new to driving manuals or even manual jeeps. I just didn’t notice this clunking noise being so loud. I could hear the gears cycling/clunking but it didn’t seem this loud until this week.
Attached is a video of the gears cycling with the clutch pressed in.
