- Vibration felt through floor
- Noise present in all gears
- Transmission fluid may have metallic sheen
Common Causes
- Output shaft bearing wear
- Insufficient lubrication
- Bearing preload incorrect
- High mileage wear
- Contaminated fluid causing bearing damage
Diagnostic Steps
- Listen for bearing noise at varying speeds
- Check transmission fluid for metal particles
- Perform vibration analysis
- Road test in multiple gears to isolate source
