Reverse Gear Grinding Noise and Hard to Engage - Solution

[@_silverword]

This is actually perfect timing. I heard this grinding noise for the first time yesterday. Hopefully no permanent damage was done

[@ok_so_what8114]

same

[@ioanbugheanu6836]

There was permanent damage done if it made a noise because it did grind. You should hope it's not severe damage (very unlikely if its just happened once).

[@klompaca]

Hah man this is something that should be mandatory in driving school, no one taught me this. When I got my first car a 91 VW Polo, was a bit battered but was super cheap and good for getting me to work it had issues going into reverse, all sorts of clunking, screeching and got forbid the sounds it made. I figured the solution to it and it was going to reverse slowly, if it doesn't click right, back to neutral and so on until it goes in smoothly. I never understood the issue, I just thought it was an old car and many people even mechanics told me the same thing. Fast forward I am in my brand new VW T Roc and would look at that, SAME PROBLEM, although at a much lower scale. This video just opened my eyes. Thank you very much!

[@elamefrancis7036]

I thought as much; “this should be taught in a driving school” You are so right

[@recardoklein135]

Thank you sir. You know there's alot of things I do when driving that I learned from you. The best one is keeping your clutch for 4 seconds before releasing completely. I used to throw my clutch until you taught me the right way. Your videos helps alot. Thank you 👍

[@laineotto1376]

I always swear in my car because it won't go in. The eternal question has been answered, thank you!!

[@kayleighwall6706]

I've just got my first car after passing and was abit worried because it struggled to get into reverse, this has made me feel alot better now 😁

[@sauravsen9870]

This was very helpful. I encounter this more often than I like on my car. I always thought it was caused by the gear lever not slotting in completely or me not clutching in all the way or the fact that my car's hella old. I'll remember to ease up slotting into reverse the next time. Thanks!

[@Big_H2]

I find that selecting a normal gear and then going into reverse helps a lot

[@ConquerDriving]

That can also help, I should have included that.

[@JB-jx9bh]

Yes go into neutral then go into reverse

[@loganmontes5969]

Do you think I can go to 5th then reverse?

[@JustMe-vn1by]

By cchccccccvb

[@averyalexander2303]

@@loganmontes5969 Any forward gear will work, doesn't matter which one. However, some cars have a lockout to keep you from shifting directly from 5th to reverse when reverse is right below 5th. So if yours won't let you shift from 5th to reverse, just use another gear. Hope this helps

Thank you yet again, since passing I bought myself a 6-speed 1999 MX5 which is notorious for not finding reverse. Your guide will hopefully save me from some tricky situations when the gearbox decides to be awkward again❤

It makes a lot of sense that my car is still spinning from inertia while I'm trying to put it into reverse, so I'll give it some extra time!

The synchro ring is what slow the gears down to allow the engagement of the gears. I recommend a 3 count to allow for proper engagement. 1 potato 2 potato 3 potato. It works every time.

[@mechtarin]

[@ConquerDriving]

Congratulations!

[@skynhuman]

Thanks for the detailed explanation! This happens to my car too, but the grinding sound only happen occaionally. I know that's really harming the gear box but don't know why it happened and how to avoid it. Thanks for your suggestion I will now wait a few seconds before select the reverse gear!

[@uselesvideo]

Thanks a ton for the video, I just got my first car, a ford focus MK1 2000 1.8L petrol; and the reverse gear selection is quite painful, it doesnt always wanna go in, more like the 50/50 case you said. I was searching for fixes online and your video showed up, seems like this is a skill issue. Gotta change the transmission oil I reckon. Also Thank you so much for all the videos, you really helped me with passing my drivers license test here in Luxembourg :D

[@elamefrancis7036]

Your vids have been so helpful as I've learnt a lot that wasn't thought or well understood in a driving school. Trying to reverse uphill I've rolled forward a couple of times & quickly held on the brakes then took to neutral & entered the gear again & it went well, I always wondered if at first I entered a wrong gear, thanks Sir!

[@fayzurrahman4243]

i thought you started doing core exercise videos when I saw "reverse crunch"

I am from India, car gears box maybe slightly different.... But your point really make sense to me... I also had experience of nasty sound when I put reverse gear without waiting much time after stopping....

Cheers this mate passed a month ago, hasn't happend too many time but I felt like I was doing something wrong and completely wrecking the gear box so hopefully from now I shouldn't be damaging the gear box any more

[@James-om2zj]

And if you keep ending up in 1st gear when you wanted reverse, there might be a lever on the back of the gear stick that you have to lift up first 🙃 when I got my first car this took me a solid 10 minutes to figure out as I kept inching further forwards wondering where reverse gear has gone 🤦‍♂️

[@ConquerDriving]

Yes, you do have to lift a leaver on some. Other only require you to force it left hard - BMW.

[@ConquerDriving]

If you have crunched it many times, I would recommend a gear oil change to be safe.

[@osasosas2982]

actually there's another way to prevent the grind. select any forward gear which should stop the transmission and then select reverse. i keep forgetting this and i grind my reverse gear all the time.

[@iwanjoness]

This is a common issue on the MK7 Ford Fiestas, make sure you fully engage the clutch for 3 seconds before changing gear

I find the Fiesta in general struggles with this.

[@DanishAnsari-wc6zw]

Thanks I needed this. I thought it was just with my car who has a hard time going into reverse

Thanks goodness for this video. Been struggling with that crunch on reverse

[@aaferozferoz3959]

I thought that my car gear box is having problem, now i understood.

[@jackykoning]

If it didn't want to go in reverse I usually just lifted the clutch a tiny amount while pushing the gear lever hard. I never heard a grinding noise with that. But I can see how that is probably depending on the type of car. So I guess don't do as I do :) Now I basically only drive automatics so its not really a concern for me anymore.

[@AUaudits]

My Fiat 500L does it. When cold, the clutch judders. It is little Jerky when warm. At just over 100,000 miles, I suspect I need full clutch kit in near future.

[@ParcoLee]

I've heard that reverse gear in a hybrid car or electric car is just reversing the electrodes from + to - inputting into traction motor(s). At least the first move in motors in a hybrid car before the ICE kicking in. I have no idea if it's true. They say that's why both hybrid cars and electric cars could be shifted to R gear suddenly from D gear while the car is still going forward. The motor will extremely harshly brake your car and pull your car backward suddenly, which might fastest stop your car and save you from emergency critical situation if any all other braking ways even aren't fast enough to stop. But I have to verify and find out anyway.

[@RohitKumar-qt1hr]

Thanks for explaining this so easy way.

[@borutcucek8988]

[@arandomseal1728]

In my driving instructor's Kia Ceed I've never struggled with that, maybe it's because in his car in order to reach Reverse Gear you need to press a button located in the stick instead of pushing the stick down.

[@ConquerDriving]

It will either be luck or it has a synchro on reverse.

[@loc4725]

Can also be damaged reverse gear. Mine (2002 Citroen) quite often doesn't go into reverse and needs some help with alignment, i.e. a touch of first gear, stop and then it works.

[@Helloacx]

Can I ask how bad the noise can mean? It happened to me first time today.. guess I “Forced” the stick to reverse gear 1 or 2times, used all my strength … then in the afternoon I was driving normal, I heard again (2 seconds)… thought sth wrong with my car till found this vedio of yours.. … So say there is now chipped metal/shaving in the oil, caused more damage already? Do I get mechanic to remove the chipped metal? Not sure if there is such service.. just scared of the idea I need to pay for new gear box …😕

[@ConquerDriving]

Nearly all car's would have had a bit of grinding here and there. Try to avoid it as much as you can but there are usually magnets in the gearbox to catch the metal particles. If it's working fine I wouldn't worry about it.

You can engage the synchro in a new car by putting it into any gear first, then quickly going straight into reverse and it should go in easily.

[@Mnck01377]

This might sound silly, but sometimes when Im at standstill and fully press the clutch and select 4th gear (not releasing the clutch at any point) I hear that crunching sound for a milisecond. I know youre not supposed to select such high gear while stationary but I thought you could select whatever as long as you dont release the clutch....?

[@stevejelly3161]

WOW ... somebody talking logic on youtube !!! . PLEASE READ EVERYBODY !!!....(I will get to the important bit asap) . Usually when going for reverse , if you just "touch" 2nd gear and "buzz" the syncro, the gears will stop rotating. (Make sure the car mat isn't stopping the pedal going all the way down ! . (IMPORTANT BIT) . If your car simply fails to engage reverse .... (you may have jumped down a curb?) .... . Engage ALL forward gears....(including 5th gear) .... just lifting the clutch pedal high enough to feel a slight "urge" to go forward ?........ then it may very well engage reverve ! . REASON - The reverse gear itself could have just got slightly "stuck" , and you have now given it a chance to slide down the shaft to " rest" .... (well it's worth a try) .

Just out of interest, you were saying you had an Ibiza before the leon, but didn't have it for as long as the current car. How come you only kep that one for a few years, and this one has been wiht you for 8+ now. Do you intend on replacing it soon, or are you going to keep it going until its uneconomical to keep on the road? Maybe a video about how you started the driving school and the cars you've had to teach in (and maybe even personally) would be a cool video.

[@ConquerDriving]

I changed to the Ibiza simply because I tried the Leon and preferred it. I've kept the Leon for ages because there is nothing new yet that has tempted me away from it. I'll change it when there is something else that I prefer within my budget, but for now it's still as good as the day I bought it.

[@seberous]

@@ConquerDriving my instructor keeps his cars for a long time too. He was saying he buys them when they a couple years old, with not many miles, and lets the learners rip them apart. He takes good care of them, but says there's no benefit to having a newer one. To be fair, that generation of Leon still has a very modern look today. Doesn't show its age with the styling whatsoever.

[@Wes_5kyph1]

yeah, I've found i have to go to 1st gear first and then reverse to get reverse to work smoother

[@_monti142]

I selected reverse gear before coming to a stop in a 2012 Volkswagen polo and to my horror I heard a grinding noise I was confused at first because I had pressed in the clutch fully in, the thing is that the gearbox received power from the spinning wheels and that made it grind, no synchros on reverse, must stop before selecting reverse

[@ConquerDriving]

Yes, I've done that before too, best be stationary before selecting reverse.

Does your clutch going bad has anything to do with this? Because here we get told by the mechanics that the clutch is worn out everytime we hear a crunch. My Hyundai Xcent now often gets a crunch on reverse and was told that a clutch needs to be done.

[@ConquerDriving]

It can be a clutch related issue, but not due to wear, if the clutch is damaged then it will affect all gears.

@@cv4809 I'll never understand why some people feel superior, because they drive manual. If you actually have a license you would understand that driving is not just about changing gears it's a small percentage. Paying attention to the road, analysing the situation, understanding what going on on the street, defensive driving etc etc etc is a HUGE part of driving. Braking, changing gears and parking is certainly not all there is to driving. I live in a country where you can only get your license in a manual, but there are still many accidents, because of people like you who think driving is just about steering the car🤦🏽‍♀️. I could care less if a person is driving an auto or manual as long as they are safe and adhere to the rules of the road.

@@mbsmile78 There's nothing specific to autos that you need to learn. If you can drive a manual, you can drive an automatic. Literally just put the car in D and drive with the accelerator and breaks. You can never stall, and you don't have to shift. The only advice I can give is consider using the lower gears for very long downhill roads. (www.allstate.com/tr/car-insurance/safety-tips-mountain-driving.aspx ) Also, don't coast with the car in neutral if you're using an auto, just stay in drive. Even at traffic lights, just stay in drive and hold the breaks.

That's unusual. Normally higher gears are easier to select. But when the wheels are still don't read into it too much. As long as it goes into 3rd fine when you're moving then it should be OK.

[@shamtradtam3769]

Some engines add gas for you when in reverse to help you reverse without pressing the gas pedal.
