Classical reverse Renault Talisman noises and some tips to look after your gearbox
Why does the reversing of my Renault Talisman make a different noise from my other speeds?
De facto, integrating all gears, bearings and pinions into a gearbox is a difficult process. The sound caused by the reversing of your Renault Talisman 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 less strong than with spur gears used for the reverse gear.
Tips to limit wear on your clutch and gearbox

Indeed, 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 choice.
