Basic Causes of Transmission Noises in your Car
Transmission is the important component of your car to redirect the engine power to the driveshaft for turning the wheels successfully.
When the transmission damaged, you may hear a strange noise coming from the transmission of your car that will arise when you switch gears.
The transmission of your car are generally connected to the gearbox which is a device that gives ability to the driver to switch gears.

The solution is to replace the petrol based fluid with the synthetic fluids to strength the component and lubricate them to stay cool.
The transmission of your car are fully depends on the torque converter which allows to shift the gears properly.
The torque converter of your car has a needle bearing that may get damaged or worn out after a while.

When you set it to neutral gear, the sound will stop automatically. It is a clear indication of damaged torque converter.
When you update with your car's owner manual, then you better know that the manual transmission fluid should last from 50,000 to 100,00 miles.
If your transmission fluid will not change after you runs the car as per its specified miles, then it proves that the fluid is old.
The old transmission fluids can leave the varnish debris on the moving components of the transmission and stick in it.
If the debris is still present on the components, then it will create strange noises especially if the filters are clogged.
