Re:Weird grind\rattle taking off in 1st gear 2019 Jimny
My new GEN jimny does the same from day one and I just installed the transfer case kit from dealer ship but its not solve the problem. Its still making grinding noise some time when 1st gear taking off. Currently from my research, only manual doing this, seems like all auto have no problems. Have owned last GEN jimny as well and no noise at all but its an auto. I'm in New Zealand by the way.
Thanks for the input
How do we see/find the info in bulletin Q-A6G-004?
Tried searching but no luck...
You really have to take off so gently not to make the noise.
Its a bit concerning.. especially if it is a grinding /wearing issue.
Never had manual cars make this sort of noise before..
Last manual car i had was an fj40 shorty...
Hi Bruce..
So you are saying the dealership put the new transfer case kit in and it did nothing at all??
Where they reluctant to do the job?
I have only 700kms on my new jimny ...
I have a mechanical back ground and all i can say this noise isnt normal or ok.. something is straining and wearing every time that noise happens.
I am at the point where i feel nervous taking off in 1st...
Love the car but damn just want to relax and drive it normally.

Yes, I have been installed the transfer case kit from my dealer, I think they named it gear tensioner kit, my baby have done 6000k and after that it still have the grinding noise when first gear take off, I'm going back to see my dealer tomorrow, hopefully they can find something else.
