Strange Noise....clutch related? was created by ryan28
The Jimny has been making some funky noises when engaging reverse.

It's like a whining noise and you get no drive in reverse. It goes away if you depress the clutch and take it out of gear though....is this clutch related?

The release bearing has been noisy since I got it and the clutch may be on its way out, although it doesn't slip in any gears at all.

Is this a buggered clutch or something else?

Sounds like it's not fully in mesh.

If there was a problem with the clutch it would affect all gears. Sounds like a gearbox issue.

A noisy release bearing isn't unusual. If the clutch isn't slipping then what makes you think it's on its way out?

Just a high bite point and it's done 70k on the current one really.

What you say makes sense though, sounds like it could well be the gearbox...

It did it in first as well this morning! I'm thinking if may be the clutch after all if it does it in first as well as reverse?

Ok managed to get a better video of the behavior.



Wife was listening to the engine bay and thought it was coming from the power steering pulley but that could be a red herring as I can't explain why engaging reverse causes it.

Help!.
