Gear shift noise

Hi MomDavis,

Is there any way you can get a recording of this noise? Also, when does it make the noise? In park, driving, when you are pressing and releasing the brake? Did it just start making the noise or has it done this since you bought the vehicle? Lastly, did you just but the vehicle or have you had it for a while?

Let me know this info and we can figure this out. Thanks

So if this is a rotational noise it is more than likely a bearing noise however, it does not make sense that it is coming from the gear shifter. When it is making the noise, can you feel it in the gear shifter or just hear it?

Okay. This sounds like a bearing. I am not sure which bearing but the output shaft bearing is pretty close to just below the shifter. This would make sense. However, without checking it out, I am not confident that this is the issue. Unfortunately, trying to diagnose a noise with just having it described to you is not the most definitive way. Also, this is not a common issue on these cars that I could say I know exactly what you are hearing because the "all do it."

Sorry I can't be more certain for you but if you can get a recording of it, I may be able to help more.

If you have a smart phone, you just take a video while the issue is happening (have someone else drive while you video or vice versa) so we can get the audio and then upload it to the site by clicking on "add image or video" below the text box. Find the video in your phone and submit it.

Let me know if you are having trouble and I will see if I can assist further with this.

That’s great. Thank you for the update. The carrier bearing is in the rear so it was transferring up the driveshaft to make it sound like it was just under the shifter.
