Weird noise while driving, just like the reverse gear sound Sign In

Hello,

today I have notice that the car started to make a weird sound. This sound is similar to the sound that the car makes in reverse. Basically no matter what gear I use, it keeps making the reverse sound. What could be the cause?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like reverse ..................... Well, that's definitely a new one. What exactly does reverse sound like.

I take that as the sound of non bevelled gears. If in all it's probably a bearing needing careful diagnosis up to a complete tear down to find it and what else could be highly suggested also. It wouldn't heal it but make sure gear oil is at proper level. If found very low could be a cause but just filling wouldn't be the cure now IMO,

Your option level of that exact model Ferrari uses blinker fluid instead of snake oil to lubricate the muffler bearing and keep it in time with the canooter valve. if the balance is upset you take a left handed metric crescent wrench to the adjuster screw and torque it to 15 ft-meters.

Don't use the right handed one, thats going to cause you trouble.

I wish you guys would've let me know about the muffler bearing before I started tearing into my transmission. It would've been so much easier to replace and I would've had it back on the road in one day.

Yours is inverted and you have duals so it's a little more complicated.
