hi everyone,

i have searched for this and couldnt find anything. im getting a clicking sound when i shift to first and then to second. i only hear the sound when my top is down.

anyone know what is going on?

 

What I hear is a click/clunk when I move the lever into 2nd; can also hear it in 3rd but the sound diminishes due to road noise. Also, if the revs aren't matched when I let out the clutch when I have shifted into 2nd, the trans will make another clunk sound.

 

no clunk. just a click. i am rev matching. thanks for the quick response. any other ideas?

 

i get the click sound too but only sometimes

 

Is it the same sound your hear switching the gears even if your car is turned off? If so, I think it's normal. You can hear it on most cars, going from neutral to first, or first to 2nd.

 

my click is coming from the clutch and not actually when shifting gears, i can feel it with my foot

 

no sound when my car isnt turned on. the click occurs AFTER i shift and when i just start to step on the throttle again. theres like 2 or 4 clicks and then it stops.

 

Ok, from what I've gathered on the forums so far, is that it seems that your're experiencing this "rear axle click". Search the forum for 'rear axle click' and see if that helps you out more. Read up on TSBs (Technical Service Bulletin). Here's one: http://www.nissantechinfo.com/nissan...RefNo=NTB04065
If it describes your symptom, take it in to a dealer, and they should fix it in a few hrs..

 

It's perfectly normal .... if you read any reviews on the car they mention (I really don't mind it) that the shifting is a bit noisy. Mine makes a clicking sound as well ...

 

Thanks Miko! It is definitely coming from the rear axle. I will try to get this checked out asap.

 

what it is is lack of grease on axles i believe or somewhere internally in rearend my friend works at nissan as a tech and he owns a toyota and i own a nissan so when i need something warranty or question he hooks me up like wise he drives a toyota how many miles? if under 36000 take it to the dealership and tell them as a matter of fact there is a TSB for that just take it to your local dealer and they will take care of it

 

itz called rear axle clicking.. my dealership in cali knew exactly what i was describing and fixed it in one morning along with the regular oil change - see other thread describing this issue.
