Strada 2000 transmission rattling noise on 5th gear

**optimusprime7** · April 2nd, 2009 02:32 PM

I'm have this problem in my Strada 2000 model for several months now wherein upon shifting to 5th gear I hear rattling noise like an iron chain being pulled inside my transmission even when I'm already running above 60KPH. This occurs esp. on sloping road. On a leveled road there's only a slight noise. The noise becomes weaker as I approach to 90kph. Is this a clutch problem? I don't think that it is because my 1st to 4th gears' response to acceleration is still ok, though I sometimes find it a little hard to shift to 1st gear, and I have to depress the pedal until it touches the floor to disengage. I also always hear a *TUG* or *POMP* under my transmission when I shift gear without depressing my gas pedal a little bit. Are there experts here who can advise me on this before I go to the shop? Thanks in advance.

I cant really tell whats the problem because with my 12 years toyota corolla I havent experienced such problems. My only advice to you is bring your strada to casa or to your private or trusted mechanic

me naririnig din ako sa L3 fb ko ganyan dati parang pressure plare or release bearing hindi ba mahirap ikambyo pag maninit na nag kambyo wala ka ba naririnig pag open windows then tapak ka sa clutch? na parang me singaw na air break?

Hi Aga,
Napansin ko pg traffc at matagal akong nakatapak sa clutch na nakaprimera, pag binalik ko sa neutral at ikambyo ko ulit sa primera ang hirap ng pumasok, siguro nga dahil uminit nung matagal akong nakadisengage sa primera. Kaya pag traffic at nakahinto tinatanggal ko na agad sa primera. Yung sinasabi mong parang air brake hindi ko naman naririnig. Pero minsan may rattle din akong naririnig sa transmission pag idle pero nawawala pag nakatapak ako sa clutch. Siguro nga may tama na ang pressure plate ko.

90 percent sure po sir pressure plate release bearing pati pilot bearing paplitan mo na mura lang po yan kaysa naman itirik ka nyan sir o kaya kng ala pang budget bomba bombahin mo na lang ang clutch mo para madaling ikambyo...

sir try mo sa tahimik na lugar buksan mo window mo then tapak tapak ka lang sa clutch sure me maririnig ka na parang nag rerelease ng hangin?

Sige papapalitan ko na lang. Salamat sa advise. May alam ka bang reliable na clutch shop sa banawe? Dun ko rin kasi bibilihin yung parts. O kahit hindi sa banawe basta marunong sa L200 4x4 clutch/transmission?
