Classical reverse Peugeot Partner Tepee noises and some tips to maintain your gearbox
Why does the reversing of my Peugeot Partner Tepee make a different noise from my other speeds?
De facto, integrating all gears, bearings and pinions into a gearbox is a difficult process. The noise made by the reversing of your Peugeot Partner Tepee is logical. It can be explained in a fairly simple way. Indeed, the gears used for conventional speeds (1st to 5th or 6th) are so-called “helical” gears (oblique gears) . The use of such a pinion makes the noise caused by the gears much less important than with spur gears employed for the reverse gear.
Tips to limit wear on your clutch and gearbox
- Don’t give a big boost:
In fact, if you kick the throttle hard when you are in reverse or when you put the car in the revs, you risk to burn your clutch or gnawing at the gearbox pinions. - Never reverse while the car is in motion or vice versa:
Reversing the direction of operation of the gearbox during operation is a very bad practice. Indeed, the pressure you will put in on the gears will be enormous and you will develop a premature wear and tear of the gears. You can even destroy the gears of your gearbox at speed by doing so. It will therefore be completely normal if you experience a reverse noise on your Peugeot Partner Tepee if you shift gear under these conditions.
