Why are my bike gears rattling?
The usual problem is that the shifter no longer moves the derailleur the right amount. So the chain rattles on the sprockets and skips in between gears, or requires two clicks to shift. The cause is most likely the cable tension.
What kind of noises do you hear when you shift gears?
Use some fast acceleration, allowing the transmission to firmly shift. Listen for any rumbling, growling or mechanical metal-to-to metal noise in each gear just after it shifts. Such noises indicate problems with the individual planetary gears, input shaft or interior transmission bearings.
What causes a car to hesitate when shifting gears?
If topping up the fluid doesn’t help, the fluid could be dirty, or there could be worn parts in the transmission – usually the bearings, reverse idler gear, or gear teeth. Hesitation: If the car hesitates when shifting, it’s usually a problem with the clutch.
What does it mean when your transmission slips out of gear?
Slipping gears: Your transmission is supposed to stay in one gear until you shift (with a manual transmission) or the computer does it for you (with an automatic transmission). If the transmission is slipping in or out of gear without any effort on your part in a manual,…
Why do you have to shift gears on your bike?
Shifting requires precise coordination between your hands and feet; the better you coordinate your movements, the smoother your shifts will be. The basic principle here is that you have to be pedaling for the bike to shift. The chain needs to be moving forward for the derailleurs to do their job, so always pedal when shifting.

Why does the gearbox rattle when the car is in neutral?
When the gearbox is in neutral and the clutch is engaged (lever out), the entire clutch and most of the gearbox are turning with the motor and unloaded. Any backlash (freeplay, slop) in the gearbox is free to rattle, whereas under load it obviously won’t rattle.
Why does my transmission jerk when I shift gears?
Transmission fluid that has aged and lost some of its frictional properties can also lead to poor shift quality. When your vehicle’s computer tells the transmission to shift gears, hydraulic pressure (provided by the fluid) squeezes a series of plates together inside a clutch pack…
