Diagnostic Aids

Diagnose the transmission, including the level of fluid and the correct type of fluid in the transmission. Inspect for misalignment or loose bolts to the engine. The transmission could be noisy internally. Gears, synchronizers, and bearings should be inspected for worn or damaged components. These are only a few areas that may cause the transmission to be noisy. You should inspect all possibilities that could lead you to the noise of these concerns.
