Swift Noise And Vibration When Changing From N To D And R

[mimfarook]

Hi Guys,

My BIL swift is giving a "tok" noise and vibrating when the gear is shifted from N to D and R.

Also this "Tok" noise tends to come on and off when driving.

What could be the real problem here. Mounts? if so which one? Bushes?

Appreciate your help.

Btw am planning to buy a swift myself so it would be good for me to be aware of this issue.

Thanks

Does it have a normal AT or is it CVT??? How is the AT Fluid/CVT fluid????

Tuk sound can be a problem with engine\gear box mounts. when was your last atf oil chnage?

The car is the swift Jeep model year 2004. Let me ask him on the AT/CVT.

If am not mistaken he did a full service last week with all oil changes and still this noise exists.

If it';s a CVT and AT fluid was put in that could be the reason for the "tok" noise. A CVT needs special CVT oil and AT oil would not do.

Even AT fluid, just "any AT fluid having a branded name" that the service station has would not do as it has to be of the correct "type" that the car requires. Dexron III, SP III, Mercon etc etc. The wrong "type" though of a reputed brand could also mess up the tranny. The type of fluid required is usually found on a sticker on the dispstick.

I am not sure if there are types for CVT fluid too.

IMO If its a busted mount/s then the vibration would be present from the moment the engine is started regardless of transmission positions.

However I am not an expert on the subject

Hi guys,

thank you all for your response.. my BIL took the car to the garage finally and the garage owner drove the car around and checked underneath and finally concluded that the gear box mount connecting to the engine had gone. Replaced the same and voila.. no noise or vibration..
