Re:Weird grind\rattle taking off in 1st gear 2019 Jimny
Just sharing my experience. I had mine back at the dealer to replace the noisy parts. I have done 700km since. The noise is completely gone. Also generally the Jimny is a lot quieter now. It seems that a lot of cruising noise was also coming from the transfer gearbox, like a whining noise that now has been reduced significantly.
8000km on the clock. The noise started roughly when I had 4000km, so close to your mileage as you are on miles.
But it was generally noisy ( regarding the cruising noise) from day one.
The weird noise that appears when you try to pull hard on the first gear, e.g. when you try to ascend a hill, drove me to the dealer and by solving that issue the Jimny became also generally quieter.
